Form and Results on same page, along with a echo.

[ttzary]

Okay... I am trying to make a simple php page. All I want it to do, is for the user to enter his/ her name, and a php script echos the name out to the same page. The form would be submitted, then the form would switch places (disappear) and the echo would print the name. It would be nice to see the name appear on every page I place the code on. It would also be even better if the page prompts the user for their name, then it appears on every page I place the code on.

The first part of your problem is shockingly similar to the example in the introductory tutorial found at php.net.

Retaining information from page to page is a bit more involved so you should proabably tackle the basics first.

So how to I do I do it then?

Surely you clicked on that link I gave you.

maybe like this

PHP Code:

<?php


if(!empty($_POST['name'])){
echo $_POST['name'];}else{echo"<form method='post' action=''>name:<input type='text' name='name'><input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit'></form>";}
?>
