Re: PHP & "POST"

First, I don't know how to use POST, is it just changing the value GET in the form to POST? Secondly, because I don't know where does it send to, I don't know where to get it, and I don't know how to get it even I know... so....... Anyone can show me an example coding for POST and how to get the data from POST pls.... "B.A.T.
