What commands/etc in php are required to make a form to submit information and post it on another page? is it tough? Thanks, ALL!

This sounds like it would require using a database to store what people post...so what you would have to do is:

> have a page the people write their post
> then that page takes what that person wrote and sends it to a database to be stored.
> A second page would get everything from the database and display it

Its not terribley hard, but on the other hand it's not the easiest thing in the world. I would tell you better instructions but I'd end up confusing every1, i confuse myself most of the time

With the use of html forms, you would set the action to point to a php that can read the user data input. For example:

HTML Form Page:

<form action="submit.php" method="post">
  Your Name:<br />
  <input type="text" name="name" />
</form>

PHP Page:

PHP Code:

<?php
  
  // The form data is in the $_POST array
  echo 'Hello there ' . $_POST['name'];
  
?>

Would Display:

Hello there mgraphic

I think I may of misread what you originally asked...
Do you want to be able to just see what you posted that one time, like you fill out a contact form and when you click 'submit' you are brought to a page that shows what you just typed in....or do you want to be able to "save" what everyone says, and upon loading a page you see what everyone has said?

If you want the 'post' to show just the one time - right after the user types in and submits the form, then what mgraphic said above will work just fine, and its relatively easy

If you want it so that is saves everyone's submission and upon loading the page it shows everybody's post, then you'll need to do what I said, which is a bit more complicated

Hope this helps,
Conrad

Yes, the 2nd one. Could anyone explain what goes into doing that?

add a insert statement after submit in the first page and redirect it to the second page where select the values from table to display.
