PHP Question

Knittel · 11-29-2007, 05:39 AM

I've a Question about PHP:
How do I make a input-field (like the Log-In field), and
How can I save the input in a variable, not in a SQL-file?

Thanks.

I don't know the second one, but you make text fields directly with HTML.

Google "HTML Forms", there are lots of really basic tutorials on that. Then when the form is submitted, all form fields are in the form of $_GET["name"] or $_POST["name"] depending on whether your form was done via GET or POST (which you'll learn about in the tutorials!).

There is also $_SESSION, $_COOKIE and probably many more, but you can access them all through $_REQUEST['name']

Forms don't put things into a session or cookies - those are done separately.

Cookies are made automatically. Making your own cookies is usually dicey.

Cookies are NOT made automatically -- you need to make your own.

~~Ryuinfinity~~ · 11-30-2007, 07:10 AM

Um... No. A lot of things automatically make a cookie. (In Firefox at least)

Mmmmmmmmm.....cookies....

Like? As far as I know, nothing makes a cookie automaticly.

~~Ryuinfinity~~ · 11-30-2007, 02:01 PM

Any kind of thing where you have to load scripts. It creates a cookie to run the scripts automatically next time to be quicker. It can also store stylesheets as cookies.

Mr.Onion · 11-30-2007, 02:19 PM

Are you confusing cookies, which scripts use to store data, with the cache, where the browser stores data so that it can be retrieved faster next time?

***Jamul*** · 11-30-2007, 02:21 PM

You're confusing cookies with cached pages. Any page you visit is saved on your computer so it can load from there next time (with varying degrees of getting it off the web in the future, depending on your settings). Cookies are little bits of data that hold your info, like your name and password on a forum. A webpage can read the cookies to use their information as needed. Cookies have to be explicitly set by a webpage to exist.

~~Ryuinfinity~~ · 11-30-2007, 02:28 PM

Really? The HTML and Javascript tutorial site I use calls those cookies.

SpaceManiac · 11-30-2007, 05:38 PM

Huh. That's weird. What tutorial are you using? I learned from www.webmonkey.com!

~~Ryuinfinity~~ · 12-03-2007, 02:51 PM

I use W3schools.

Knittel · 12-04-2007, 07:42 AM

Thanks, for all those answers.

That's nice, but I will never learn from your webpages, it's already difficult to learn PHP. I use a German website to learn it.
