1. Download the Form Handler example folder. Extract the contents and upload to your server. Run the form and view the results. This example uses a basic form. When the form is submitted the form action attribute will send the form data to a PHP page. The PHP page will create a confirmation page for the user. It will display the information from the form using the foreach loop process. Link to Form Handler in class Work.
2. Create a second version of exampleForm.htm called exampleForm1.htm. Modify this page so that the action attribute calls a second version of formHandler.php named formHandler1.php. Modify this new formHandler to pull all of the fields on the form using the names of the fields and the associative power of the $_POST variable. Link to New Form Handler.
3. Create a third version called exampleForm2.htm and formHandler2.php. Change the form to use the 'get' method and to call the new version of formHandler.
