Save input from form Newbie, 040131 03:05
Hi,
I'm looking for a php-script that will save form entries in separate variables in a file on the server so that I can print it on another page. Example: I go to the form /input.php and type "Nice" in a text field. I then hit submit and go to the page /show.php. On that page it now says: "Nice".

Any idea where I can find something like this?
Or how to make a script that does this?

use $_GET['someVariable']; OR $_POST[someVariable'];
depending on the method you chose in your form
for example:


<form name"~~" action="/show.php" method="get/post">

   <input type="text" name="someVariable">

</form>
 
then in /show.php put something like this:


echo ("Whatever You Want To Say \n");

echo ("The User Said: ".$_GET['someVariable']."\n");

   //or if you used post as your method

   echo ("The User Said: ".$_POST['someVariable']."\n");
 
GET will put the variable in the address bar
for example: www.whatever.com/file.php?someVariable=whatever

i think thats what you wanted
