This is a very short tutorial on the creation of a HTML form,
that used the PHP form processor located in the PHP part of the
forum. First, I'd like to explain how forms work, because it's
not always as obvious as one would think. Basically, the HTML
form is used to store the information into variables, such as
name, email address, and comments, etcetera. These variable are
then sent to something called a form processor and processed
into any format you choose, they are then sent to the address
mentioned in the form processor.
Once you read this tutorial you may be able to understand it a
little better.
First off, let me show an example of a simply HTML form that
asks the person for the name, email, and comments.

You'll notice I included some HTML tags to show you were this
form would normally be found, even know most of you would
already know. Let's break this down a little bit now.
Last but not least we have the submit button, you'll notice the
type is Submit, and the value is the name you wish to place on
the button. Of course, we end most tags in HTML with the exact
same tag, in this case .
Good Luck Everyone :)
