I want to do something very simple. After a user enters text in an HTML text box then hits submit, the PHP echo's the entered text. I searched all over and I cant find out how to do it! There must be some way! I want something like this except
$foois what the entered text was.<html> <input type="text" name="something" value="$foo"/> <html> <?php echo $foo = "ben"; echo "foo is $foo"; // foo is foobar ?>
