Retrieving Form Data in PHP
Let's say we have a file form.php, and
it contains an HTML form that submits to the page
result.php. On this page, we can
retrieve the form data using special
variables $_GET, $_POST, and
$_REQUEST.
These variables contain an array of data from the submitted form. The keys of this array will be the names of the inputs, and the values will be the data that was entered into those inputs.
If the form was submitted using the GET method,
then the data will be in the array $_GET,
and if it was submitted using the POST method, then the data will be
in the array $_POST, respectively.
The variable $_REQUEST
will contain the form data submitted by any
of the methods.
