In this tutorial you will learn how to build php form and how to recover the values from a form using PHP. We'll use the action command to build php form and then the post method in order to retrieve the data.

Step 1: Creating Script using command

In order to build a php form, you need to create a script which can be made using the command action.

Step 2: Recovering data from a form
To retrieve data from a form, we need to specify a method which can get the data for us from the form. In this particular form, we are using the method POST. The command method lets us specify the method we want to choose for our form.

Step 3: Creating an input field in the form

To create an input field in the form, we have to specify the name of the input field, its input type and its value. Additional attributes such as size of the input or maximum length of the input can also be specified while creating an input field. An input field can be a text area, a radio button, a checkbox, a drop down menu or a selection list to choose from. In our form, we are creating two input fields and a submit button . When the user will press the submit button after completing the form, the submit button will submit the form data to the script mentioned in the action attribute. In our case, the action attribute is "form.php".

Step 4: Recovering values by using another attribute

Now, if the user has filled the form and submitted the information, we can retrieve that information by using the attribute "$_POST" which is used to collect values in a form which has the method "post".

Here is all we you need to learn about how to build php form and recover data from it.
