I have a form, and I'm checking to see if it's submitting properly to post. This is my first foray into POST, so other than rudimentary research and tutorial stuff, I'm having a lot of problems. I wrote a simple script to see if my form is working properly at all. The HTML is clipped to only show you the form; I do have a validation and all that.
There is no naming conflict, whether in the filenames or those of the variables, so I assume it's a syntax error or just me being that guy with no knowledge of post whatsoever.
Here's the HTML:
<html>
<body>
<form name="Involved" method="post" action="postest.php" target="_blank">
Name: <br><input type="text" name="name" title="Your full name" style="color:#000" placeholder="Enter full name"/>
<br><br>
Email: <br><input type="text" name="email" title="Your email address" style="color:#000" placeholder="Enter email address"/>
<br><br>
How you can help: <br><textarea cols="18" rows="3" name="help" title="Service you want to provide" style="color:#000" placeholder="Please let us know of any ways you may be of assistance"></textarea>
<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" id=submitbox"/>
</form>
</body>
<html>
Here's the post (named postest):
<?php
$name = $_POSTEST['name'];
$email = $_POSTEST['email'];
$help = $_POSTEST['help'];
echo {$name}, {$email}, {$help};
?>
This post was derived from this tutorial.
Also, I might as well ask: How would I go about submitting information to be (semi)permanently stored on a spreadsheet for my later perusal? However, this is a secondary question.
