Question 1

• cd to your public_html directory.

• Write a simple html form that uses text input tags to request your name, your graduation year, and your major. Use form1.htm for inspiration. Call your file something such as Lab4Form1.htm.

• Make sure your form1.htm file indicates that echoform.php is the file that will be receiving the form parameters.

• Make sure you chmod the file a+r.

• Create an echoform.php file that you can use to test all your forms: Use the code from echoform.php. chmod it as well.

• Test your form by loading its URL in your browser: http://cs.smith.edu/~220a-xx/Lab4Form1.htm

• Verify that the echoform.php program is called when you submit your data.

Question 2

• Create your own php file that will process the information from your form. Call this new php file processLab4Form1.php, for example, and make it generate a simple output; something like this:

 Hello Stephanie, you will graduate in 2012, and you are a CS major.
