The viewer will learn how to create a basic form using some HTML5 and PHP for later processing.
Video Steps
1. Set up your basic HTML file. Open your form tag and set the method and action attributes.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My first php script</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="process.php">
2. Set up your first few inputs one for the name and the gender.
A simple set of radio buttons will do here.<label>Name: <input type="name" name="fullname" placeholder="Enter your name here."></label>
<label>Gender: <input type="radio" name="gender" value="M" checked>Male <input type="radio" name="gender" value="F">Female</label>
3. Label the date of birth field, setup a few select boxes that will use PHP to loop through respectively to get the month, day and year.
<label>Birthday: <select name="month">
<?php for($m=1; $m<=12; $m++){
echo "<option value=".$m.">".$m."</option>";
} ?>
</select>/
<select name="day">
<?php for($d=1; $d<=31; $d++){
echo "<option value=".$d.">".$d."</option>";
} ?>
</select>/
<select name="year">
<?php for($y=1880; $y<=2014; $y++){
echo "<option value=".$y.">".$y."</option>";
} ?></select>
</label>
4. Set up a field for the email address.
<label>E-mail: <input type="email" name="emailaddy" placeholder="Enter your best email address."></label>
5. Label the randomized ID # as ID #. Set the variable for this ID number and put it into a hidden field.
<label>My ID #: <?php $nyid=rand(0,199999); echo $myid; ?>
<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $myid; ?>"></label>"][/step]
[step="6" title="Set your submit button and close out the form and page.
<label><input type="submit" name="saveme" value="Send Profile"></label>
</form>
</body>
</html>
