将html表单答案存储为一个变量，以便在表单页面上使用[关闭]

Question

I'm really new at using PHP, and I'm not really sure what kind of solution I need to be looking for, but anyway... I have created a mini-form, that only has one question. I have used a select-tag and seven option-tags. I want to save the answer from the user as a variable, that I can then use in an if-statement later, on the same page as the form was on. Is this even possible? And newbie-friendly?

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible. 1. Check that you have added method in form tag (action means that you will be using same page for your if-statement) and that you have name for select element:

<form action="?" method="get">
<select name="question"> 
    <option value="1">one</option>
    <option value="2">two</option>
    ...
    <option value="7">seven</option>   
</select>

1. Then, after form submit the page will be reloaded and you will get selected value from $_GET["question"] variable.
