PHP Form

The document discusses how PHP handles forms submitted from HTML and retrieves data from the form for processing. It provides examples of a simple form that collects a user's name, color, and food preferences. It then shows how the PHP code processes the submitted form data by retrieving the values from the $_POST superglobal and displaying them. Another example shows how submitted form values can be numeric data that is manipulated through calculations like addition, subtraction, etc and the results displayed.

Working With Form

Working With Form


PHP is really good at handling data submitted
to the server in HTML forms.
HTML forms allow users to enter data into a
web page.
On the server, we can use PHP page along the
form collection to handle information set.

submitted from a HTML form.
The submitted data which stored in PHP variables
can be manipulated by the script, just like other
variables.
