Would this work?
(My first attempt at a actual PHP Script other than writings! SO be critical but not mean)

Code:

<html><head><title>Welcome guest, add your comment!</title></head>
<body>
Type in your information:
<P>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>


<form action="action.php" method="post" ID=Form1>
 <p>Your name: 
 <input type="text" name="name" ID=Text1 size="20" value="Example"/></p>
 <p>Your age: <input type="text" name="age" ID=Text2 size="20" value="30"/></p>
 <p>Email: <input type="text" name="Email" size="20" value="user@example.com"></p>
 <p>Comments: </p>
 <p><textarea rows="7" name="comments" cols="24">Comments</textarea></p>
 <p><input type="submit" ID=Submit1/></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

-That's page where you enter it!

Code:

<html>

<head>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>New Page 2</title>
</head>

<body>
Posted by: <b><?PHP echo $_POST[ 'name' ]; ?></b>
who is <b><?PHP echo $_POST[ 'age' ]; ?></b>!  
<p>Email him at this adress:  <?PHP echo $_POST[ 'Email' ]; ?>
<P> Comments: <?php /*Here his commets will go and be really cool *\ ?></p>
<p> <?php $_POST[ 'comments' ];  ?> </p>   

<p>&nbsp;</body></html>

That is where entries are!!!

if this is wrong i'm not happy!! lol.

lol from my opinion i don't think it will work but we will see won't we >....

yes it will work. I assumed that the code containing the php script is to be called action.php. Keep in mind though that the submited info isn't kept :-)

Note: I modified your example to fix a couple errors (which I have bolded for you):

<html>

<head>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>New Page 2</title>
</head>

<body>
Posted by: <?PHP echo $_POST[ 'name' ]; ?>
who is <?PHP echo $_POST[ 'age' ]; ?>!
Email him at this adress: <?PHP echo $_POST[ 'Email' ]; ?>
 Comments:<?php /*Here his commets will go and be really cool */ ?>
 <?php echo $_POST[ 'comments' ]; ?> 

 </body></html>

HTH,

What do u mean it won't save?

JonM · #5 07-13-2004, 02:26 PM

or be kept*

IcIshoot · #6 07-13-2004, 03:19 PM

According to your code, all that happens is that the data gets passed to the actions.php script, then displayed.

To keep the data, it needs to be saved in either in a file (don't have any experience with this) or in a database (more familier with this, if it is a mysql database).

Of course, you then need to have away of retrieving the data and displaying it.
