Hey guys... Needed some help in PHP ..

Basically.. say.. I have 2 or more input fields and one text area.

Now, I want some sort of a php script that would use POST to extract submitted data from the inputfield1, inputfield2, and text-area.

The textarea is going to have numbers in each line .. say like..

123
133
124 .. etc

... Next.. is it possible to extract the information submitted above (field1, field2, and textarea) and form them in some sort of output box as such

field1 textarea field2

So.. say .. output would be something like:

field1 = username
textarea = serial number
field2 = command

result would be
sam 123 accept
dave 133 accept
nick 124 deny

etc etc

Is it possible?

Of course that's possible. You just need to name the input boxes and textareas what you'd like. So you'd have...

<form action="dosomething.php" method="post">
Username: <input type="text" name="username" /><br />
Serial Number:<br />
<textarea name="serialnubmer"></textarea><br />
Command: <input type="text" name="command" />
</form>

And then on the dosomething.php page you just read the $_POST value for each like so...

PHP Code:

$username=addslashes($_POST['username']);
$serialnumber=addslashes($_POST['serialnumber']);
$command=addslashes($_POST['command']); 


Then you can put into databases and such, but I'm not sure exactly what you want to do. Just make sure you clean the strings first and check them xD I used addslashes, but you can also use mysql_real_escape_string() or any other cleaning function you have.
