info need on POST

[westman]

i have an example code...

<?phpif (isset($_POST['username'])){$username = $_POST['username'];}?><form action="index.php" id="username_form" name="username_form" method="post"><input name="username" id="username" type="text"><input name="username_submit" id="username_submit" type="submit"></form>

my question is...is $username the name or the id?andhow can i get the name and id sepretly?

[boen_robot]

$username is neither.The

'username'

in

$_POST['username']

is the "name" of the input.The value of

$_POST['username']

is the "value" of the input (well, the one that is present upon submission to be exact).In PHP, you can only get values by the name of the input. You can't get values by IDs.
