Basic program before entering to MySQL with PHP

Here is a simple program which you needed to study before you studying about the manipulations of php with database.

Create the following php file with the following code:


<html >

<body>

<form action="form.php" method="post">

user name:

<input type="name" name="name">

<br>

password:

<input type="password" name="password">

<br>

<input type="submit">

</body>

</html>

Then create a file named form.php with the following code


<?php

echo "user name:";

echo $_POST["name"]."<br>";

echo "password:";

echo $_POST["password"];

?>

This program reads the username and password. It doesn't store the username and password but the username and password that we read is sent a newpage with the post method and displays the username and password.

Since we set the attribute method=" post "so that we can read the values from the form using the $_POST. It reads values using the name of the input box.

Output:

first.php
