Forms let users send data to your server. ## Simple contact form ```html <form method="post"> <input name="name" placeholder="Name"> <input name="email" placeholder="Email"> <button>Send</button> </form> ``` ## PHP handling ```php <?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST') { $name = trim($_POST['name'] ?? ''); $email = trim($_POST['email'] ?? ''); if ($name === '' || $email === '') { echo "All fields required"; } else { echo "Thanks, $name"; } } ?> ``` ## Security tip Always validate and sanitize user input. > Next: String functions and text processing.
