Creating online form and then viewing the results…?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

I wanted to do an online form that when the user fills the textfields after he hits submit it would take him to a page to see what he wrote…(pretty much the same layout too), how can this be done in php?

Also

p.s. Is there a way to make a online form and after submit it converts it to Word?

Thnx

@sneakyimpFeb 26.2009 — If you have this form:
[code=html]
<form action="handler.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="myInput">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>
[/code]

Then it will submit via POST to a file called 'handler.php'. This handler.php file will show you what was displayed:
[code=php]
if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) {
die("You didn't submit anything!");
} else {
echo "You submitted the following:<br>";
echo $_POST['myInput'];
}
[/code]

If you want to create a word document out of that, you are going to need to get a lot more involved in your coding skills.
