Access Single and Multiple Form Values
One of the advantages of PHP has always been the ability to easily manipulate information submitted by the user through an HTML form. In fact, PHP version 4.1 adds several new ways to access this information and effectively removes the one most commonly used in previous versions. This article looks at different ways to use the information submitted on an HTML form, in both older and more recent versions
of PHP. It starts out by looking at individual values and builds to a page that can generically access any available form values.
Note: This article assumes that you have access to a Web server running PHP version 3.0 or above. You'll need a basic understanding of PHP itself, and of creating an HTML form.
