Page 3
HTML, PHP, MySQL
Enter your user name, password, and favorite color in the form below. This example demonstrates how to use basic RESTful HTML post, in an HTML form, for PHP and MySQL. The end result displays a Web page table derived from the posted MySQL data.
The form's action attribute, receives the
value tables/post-colors.php
.
The form's method attribute, receives the
value post
.
When the user taps the form's submit button,
then PHP file, post-colors.php
, receives
data posted from the form.
See the form's HTML markup, below.
