    PHP Form Handling

    Dynamic Webpages using PHP


    PHP is a server scripting language. This server side code
    can be used to fill out HTML templates in order to create
    a complete HTML document for a visitor. This finished
    document is called a dynamic webpage.
    Dynamic PHP webpages can deliver a custom set of
    assets to each visitor, unlike static pages which deliver
    the same set of assets to everyone.

    Embedding PHP Code


    PHP can generate HTML when saved as a file with a .php <html>
    extension. These files must always start with the tag <?
    <body>
    php (closing tag is optional).
    PHP can also be embedded into HTML. In this case, both <?php
    opening tag <?php and closing tag ?> are used. echo "Hello PHP World!";
    For example, in the given code, the PHP code has been ?>
    embedded into the HTML by enclosing it within the <?
    </body>
    php and ?> tags.
    </html>

    $_REQUEST Superglobal Variable


    The $_REQUEST superglobal variable is an array that
    contains data from the clients cookies, GET and POST
    request.

    Action Form Attribute


    The “action” form attribute is used to specify which PHP
    file handles the request being submitted. The PHP file
    handling the request can be the same file sending the
    request or a separate file.

    $_POST Superglobal Variable


    $_POST , the PHP superglobal variable, is an array that
    contains data from the client’s POST request. This data is
    translated from the HTTP request headers

    $_GET Superglobal Variable


    $_GET is a PHP superglobal variable which is used to
    collect an array of data transmitted within the URL
    parameters of a client’s incoming GET request.

    echo Shorthand Syntax


    Instead of using the regular echo syntax like
    <?php
    echo "Hello World"; ?>
    we can use a shorthand syntax
    such as
    <?= "Hello World"; ?> .

    HTML Form Name Attribute


    The name attribute is used to associate data with an
    input tag so that PHP can access the data. Unique name
    attribute values are needed for each input tag.
