<html>
<head>
<title> PHP forms </title>
</head>
<body>
<form method='GET' action='index.php'>
Your name:<input type='text' name='name'> <br>
Your age :<input type='text' name='age'> <br>
Your gender:<input type='text' name='gender'> <br>
<input type='submit'>
</form>
<?php
$name=$_GET['name'];
$gender=$_GET['gender'];
$age=$_GET['age'];
echo "Welcome $name, you're a $gender and you're $age old.";
?>
When the method GET is used - Note : I don't recommend using GET variables for secure things like logging in - You can store that data by putting it in a variable with the supervariable $_GET and in the [] you put the name of the input.
[size=large][color=#E0FFFF]2. POST variables [/color][/size]

<body>
<form method='POST' action='index.php'>

Your age :<input type='text' name='age'> <br>
Your gender:<input type='text' name='gender'> <br>
<input type='submit'>
</form>
<?php
$name=$_POST['name'];
$gender=$_POST['gender'];
$age=$_POST['age'];
echo "Welcome $name, you're a $gender and you're $age old.";
?>
When the method POST is used (recommended!)You can store that data by putting it in a variable with the supervariable $_POST and in the [] you put the name of the input.
