CODE FOR orderform.html:

<html>
<form action=”processorder.php” method=POST>
<table border=0>
<tr bgcolor=#cccccc>
<td width=150>ITEM</td>
<td with=15>QUANTITY</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>TIRES</td>
<td align=center>

maxlength=3></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=2 align=center><input type=submit value=SUBMIT
ORDER></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</html>

OBSERVATIONS:
• set the form's action to the name of the php script that will
process the customer's orders
• value of the action attribute is the URL that will be loaded
when user presses the submit button
• data that the user has typed in the form will be sent to this
URL via method specified in the method attribute either:
• GET = appended to the end of the URL
• POST = sent as a separate packet
• names of the force fields:
• tireqty
• oilqty
• sparkqty

PROCESSING FORMS:
• In order to process the form we'll need to create the script
mentioned in the ACTION attribute of the FORM tag called
“processorder.php”

HEADING CODE FOR processorder.php:

<html>
<head>
<title> BOB'S ORDER PARTS – ORDER RESULTS </title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>BOB'S AUTO PARTS<h1>
<h2>
ORDER RESULTS
<?
echo “<p>Order processed.”;
?>
<h2>
</body>
