Form Submission Method in PHP
Using the method
attribute we specify
the form submission method. It can be GET
or POST.
Let our form be submitted using the GET
method
to the page result.php
:
<form action="/result.php" method="GET">
<input name="test1">
<input name="test2">
<input type="submit">
</form>
In this case, on this page in the address
bar, the form data will appear in the following
format: after the page address there will be a
sign ?
, and after it the names of the inputs
and the values entered by the user: result.php?test1=value1&test2=value2
.
Let our form be submitted using the POST
method
to the page result.php
. In this case,
the data will also be sent, but will not be displayed in the address bar:
<form action="/result.php" method="POST">
<input name="test1">
<input name="test2">
<input type="submit">
</form>
On the page index.php
, make a form.
Submit it to the page result.php
.
Test both form submission methods.
