Saving and displaying user input using HTML and PHP-CodePudding

I am trying to save a Users data from an input field so that it can be displayed later in their profile of a webpage, for example the user inputs data of a cinema(name, address) and can see it later under Saved Restaurants and call up the previously saved information. Can the PHP and HTML code be written together in one .PHP file?

So far I have this:

<html lang>

<head>

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/addOrEditCinemaPage.css">

</head>

<?php include "php/head.php" ?>
<?php include "php/navigation.php" ?>

<body>

<div >
    <form>
        <h2>Add or Edit a Cinema</h2>

        <label for="name"><b>Name of Cinema</b></label>
        <input type="text" placeholder="Enter name">

        <label for="str"><b>Street</b></label>
        <input type="text" placeholder="Enter street">

        <label for="nr"><b>Nr.</b></label>
        <input type="number" placeholder="Enter Nr.">


        <label for="plz"><b>Post Code</b></label>
        <input type="number" placeholder="Enter Post Code"><br><br>

        <label for="ct"><b>City</b></label>
        <input type="text" placeholder="Enter City">

        <label for="sta"><b>State</b></label>
        <input type="text" placeholder="Enter State">

        <label for="descr"><b>Description</b></label><br>
        <textarea placeholder="Enter Discription"></textarea>


        <div >

            <a href="image_upload_form.php"   aria-disabled="false">Add Image</a>

        </div>
        <button type="submit">Save</button>

    </form>
</div>

<?php include "php/footer.php" ?>
</body>

</html>```

Can the PHP to save and display to input infomration also be written here?

CodePudding user response：

Yes, you can by setting the 'action' attribute of the form to the same file, and by setting the 'method' attribute to POST. Instead of using

<form>

use

<form action="<?PHP echo $_SERVER['php_self'];?>" method="POST">

Then, set the 'name' attribute of each input.

For example, Instead of using

<input type="text" placeholder="Enter name">

use

<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Enter name">

You'll also have to set the 'name' attribute of the submit button to 'submit':

<button type="submit" name="submit">Save</button>

Once you've done that, the PHP code to access the form data would be:

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    echo $_POST['name'];
}

CodePudding user response：

send your data with html to another php page

you must use get or post for sending form data to php page

like below
