Step 3: PHP Codes

Now that we have completed making the form page, we now need PHP coding to write the data to text file.

To do this, again open form.php On the top of everything, write this code:

PHP Code:
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
// Do something
}
?>

This means if $_POST['submit'] is set, where ’submit’ is the “name” of the submit button, then do something.
We used here $_POST[] because we used form method=”POST”, if we had used method=”GET “, then we would have used $_GET[] here.
Now we need it to do something if the submit button is set.
So, to do this, we will add some code on our current code.
We will add everything we need, after or by replacing “// Do something“.
Before we make the script write to file, we need to make sure of following things:
If on Linux, file must have writing permission , that is, CHMOD 777
Now start writing code !
