Essentially, Ross, you can use $_POST variables as a regular associative
array. $_POST values come from the posted values in a form. If you have a
form element called table_name, and your form uses the post method (as
opposed to the get method), your script would have $_POST['table_name']
available to it. As the example below shows, you can then check its value.
The value of $_POST['table_name'] is the value that was entered in the
corresponding form element. In this case, you're looking to see if it's
equal to 1. If you want to output the value of a $_POST variable, you could
do something like
echo "<p>The value of table_name is {$_POST['table_name']}</p>\n";
or if you don't have a free flowing input box you would probably want to
output the value with htmlentities or htmlspecialchars.
echo "<p>The value of table_name is " . htmlentities($_POST['table_name']) .
"</p>\n";
I hope this helps. The previous posters are right though, there is lots of
documentation out there
