how does php receive <form> parameters?

[scrunchy2k@yahoo.com]

Hi,

I was just curious how a PHP script in a webpage
receives the parameters that I send to it in a
form tag. It's a stupid question I suppose, but
my impression is that, by comparison, in Perl
the parsing of parameter requires the programmer
to add a line in the .pl file. Not so in PHP?

Thanks,

It's all in TFM:

Should tell you all you need to know how to use it, if you want to know
how PHP parses the submitted data you should off course use the source
:)

Its not stupid, just ignorant[1]. The answer is out there already -- read
it.


[1] "ignorant" is not in and of itself a bad thing.
