Here is my code:
<h2> Simple Form </h2>
<form action="" method="post">
First Name: <input type="text" name="firstName">
Last Name: <input type="text" name="lastName"><br /><br />
<input type="submit">
</form>
<br />
Welcome,
<?php
echo $_POST['firstName'];
echo " ";
echo $_POST['lastName'];
?>
!
<hr>
<h2>POST Form</h2>
<h3>Would you like to volunteer for our program?</h3>
<form action="" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="postName">
Age: <input type="text" name="age"><br /><br />
<input type="submit">
</form>
<br />
Hello,
<?php
echo $_POST['postName'];
?>
!
<br>
<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") {
$age = $_POST['age'];
if ($age >= 16) {
echo "You are old enough to volunteer for our program!";
} else {
echo "Sorry, try again when you're 16 or older.";
}
}
?>

<h2>GET Form</h2>
<h3>Would you like to volunteer for our program?</h3>
<form method="get" action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]); ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="p" value="includes/forms.php">
Name: <input type="text" name="getName">
Age: <input type="text" name="age"><br /><br />
<input type="submit">
</form>
<br />
Hello,
<?php
echo $_GET['getName'];
?>
!
<br>
<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "GET") {
$age = $_GET['age'];
if ($age >= 16) {
echo "You are old enough to volunteer for our program!";
} else {
echo "Sorry, try again when you're 16 or older.";
}
}
?>
I have two forms. Both displaying the exact same thing, but one form using POST and one using GET.
I have gotten so close to finishing this off but now I have another small/weird issue.
The code technically works correctly, but here's the output explanation:
when I first open up the page the GET form already has the result "Sorry, try again when you're 16 or older." When I fill out the first 'simple' form, it displays the result correctly but then the POST form shows the "Sorry, try again..." result. Then, when I fill in the information and click submit, it displays the correct result and the other two forms are blank as they're supposed to be, and then the same result when I fill out the GET form.
Any help on this is much appreciated.
Try this code :
<h2> Simple Form </h2>
<form action="" method="post">
First Name: <input type="text" name="firstName">
Last Name: <input type="text" name="lastName"><br /><br />
<input type="submit">
</form>
<br />
Welcome,
<?php
if (isset($_POST['firstName']) && $_POST['lastName'])
{
echo $_POST['firstName'];
echo " ";
echo $_POST['lastName'];
}
?>
!

Please try this. I hope it will help.
Replace
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") {
with
if (isset($_POST['age'])) {
Similarly,Replace
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "GET") {
with
if (isset($_GET['age'])) {
When you first enter on page, default REQUEST_METHOD is GET so you should check if isset($_GET['age']) { and here check if it is more than 16 }
also you should check this one echo $_GET['getName'];
and change on thisecho isset($_GET['getName']) ? $_GET['name'] : "";
You should also check $_POST request like this and your program will work correctly.
