Most basic form question ever?


Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hello,

I want to use this snippet to make sure the fields in a form are ok before processing it.

Did you know?Explore Trending and Topic pages for more stories like this.
Code: <FORM method="post">
To:


<input type="text" name="name" size="40" value="<?php if($name) { print $name; } else { print "Insert Name"; } ?>">

<input name="action" type="submit" value="Update Form">

</FORM>

It works, but I don't understand why.

The if statement is checking for the variable $name, but I haven't used the code that I would normally use.

What I see in all my tutorials would lead me to use...

$name= $_POST['name];

So, I'm confused as to where the $name variable is being found.

Thanks for your patience
