 == Creating the Form ==
-The first step involves creation on an HTML page to contain our form. The form will be very simple in that it will contain only a text area for the user to enter data and a submit button with which to send it to the server. We will use the POST method of transmitting the data to the server and specify "subscribe.php" as the server side script to hanlde the data:

 == Processing Form Data Using PHP ==
-Now that we have created a form we need to understand how to process the data enter by the user in our server side PHP script. There are two mechanisms for transmitted the data form an HTML form to the server, GET and POST. In our example above we specified POST, but in either case the task of reading this data in our PHP script is equally simple.

There are two mechanisms for transmitting the data from an HTML form to the server, GET and POST. In our example above we specified POST, but in either case the task of reading this data in our PHP script is equally simple.
 Essentially PHP places the data from the form into an associative array (for information on PHP arrays see [[PHP Arrays]]) which can be accessed from within the server side PHP script. For POST and GET the array variable names are $_POST and $_GET respectively.

-Up until now we have only concerned ourselves with data which only holds one value (the text in a text field for example). Clearly, in this case there is the potential for multiple data values to be associated with a single form element. The way PHP handles this is place the multiple selections in an array. Before that happens, however, we need to make a small modification to our declaration of the HTML Select element. All we need to do to turn this data into an array is to place [] after the element name:

	In this chapter will create a simple HTML form to gather information from the user and then create a PHP script to process that data once it has been submitted to the server. This chapter assumes an understanding of HTML forms. See the [[An Overview of HTML Forms]] chapter for a basic overview of this topic.
