Re: newbie bigtime

The code for form.html is <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>HTML Form</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <FORM ACTION="HandleForm.php" METHOD=POST> First Name <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="FirstName" SIZE=40><BR> Last Name <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="LastName" SIZE=40><BR> E-mail Address <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="Email" SIZE=40><BR> Comments <TEXTAREA NAME="Comments" ROWS=5 COLS=40></TEXTAREA><BR> <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME="Submit" VALUE="Submit"> <INPUT TYPE=RESET NAME="Reset" VALUE="Reset"> </FORM> </BODY> </HTML> and the code for the HandleForm.php is <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Form Results</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <?php /* This page receives and handles the data generated by "form.html". */ print "Your first name is $FirstName.<BR>\n"; print "Your last name is $LastName.<BR>\n"; print "Your E-mail Address is $Email.<BR>\n"; print "This is what you had to say:<BR>\n $Comments<BR>\n"; ?> </BODY> </HTML> And the book suggested POST instead of GET because it is stated that Post is secure and GET is not.
