PHP Forms
(11 votes)
Written by DanielRo   
In our contact us script tutorial you learned the basics of creating contact forms using a PHP file and a HTML form. In this tutorial we are using only one master php file, containing both the form and the php code.


In our first tutorial we used the basic approach, a HTML FORM witch sends data using POST to a PHP file. Nonetheless this is not a bad approach in creating forms and parsing data to PHP files but as you are developing a better, stronger, faster application you will need more and more forms thus creating two files for every form can get real ugly real fast.

In this technique a single PHP file is being used, containing both the HTML FORM and the PHP script.

Here is the actual script:

<?
/*Check to see if the FORM was submitted (if the "SEND" value was sent)*/
if(isset($_POST['send']))
{
/* Get the "username" and "password" values from the form */
$user = $_POST['username'];
$pass = $_POST['password'];

/* This is the place where you connect to your database
or whatever function you are using after the form is submited */
}

/* If the "send" value was not sent, then the form is displayed */
else {
?>
<form method="post" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>">
Username:
<input name="username" type="text"><br>
Password:
<input name="password" type="password"><br>
<input name="send" type="submit" value="Login">
</form>
<? } ?>


  • Install Photoshop on Ubuntu Linux
    Believe it or not Photoshop CS2 is now fully supported on Ubuntu Linux using Wine. For a long period of time I was eager in switching to Ubuntu but the incompatibility of my most used Windows based applications always made me switch back to Linux. No more Windows based Photoshop skills, now you can powerup Photoshop on Ubuntu.
  • Google AdSense with Allowed Sites
    google logoEvery AdSense Publisher had nightmares when hearing of all the horror stories where people get banned from AdSense because someone else used their AdSense code on malicious sites, breaking the Google AdSense TOS.
    This all ended when Google decided to listen to the community and build the Allowed Sites feature.

  • Domain Naming and Registration with DNS
    Though IP addresses allow computers and routers to identify each other efficiently, humans prefer to work with names rather than numbers. The Domain Name System - DNS - supports the best of both worlds.

Pls I need help. I got two tables on a database but I dont know how to run them independently. Please find below our script. It is a shipping tracking website. All I want is each table to run independently once tracked.

-------------------------------------------------






How do I write or connect the second usertable to the php file as the first script which is working fine once tracked? The table name is "FTYX34555867". I don't know how to run or write multiple table on same database. All I need is, how to connect multiplt tables so each table can run different tracking number. Am stress as am not getting it well. Please help me.
