This is my html page:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Hello and welcome to my site</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>are these 2 numbers equal? type yes or no in the box</p>
<p2>one</p2> and eight
<form action="welcome_get.php" method="get">
Answer: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
this is my new php page containing a previous answer and im having new errors
<html>
<body>
<?php
var_dump($_GET['name']);
$answer = $_GET['name'];
$saying = "congratulations";
if ($answer == "yes"){
echo $saying;
}
?>
</body>
</html>
the new errors are referring to my php page which is welcome_get.php
var_dump($_GET['name']);
Additionally, to see all available GET params:
var_dump($_GET)
To assign to a new variable:
if(!empty($_GET['name'])){
$answer = $_GET['name'];
if($answer == 'something'){
// do something
}
}
You can use isset function to check if $_GET['var'] is set
if(isset($_GET['name'])){
$answer = $_GET['name'];
$saying = "congratulations";
if ($answer == "yes"){
echo $saying;
}
}
