I want to create a HTML file. I want that HTML file to take some input variables and call a php script?
can you please help me with a snipp of this? or any url that has this as a simple example.
I have a HTML file, when the I click "next", I want to call the php script. That php script the page it is in (say 5th page) so when I click "next", it should take the $currpage=5 (variable) and send it to the php script
See the official PHP tutorial (specifically "Your first PHP-enabled page" and "Dealing with Forms") for all you're wanting to do here:
This is utterly bog-standard beginning PHP/HTML, and you could've found it anywhere on the web if you'd just googled for "PHP introduction"
html file:
<html>
<body>
<form method="post" action="yourscript.php">
<input type="text" name="mytextfield">
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
PHP script:
<?php
echo "You entered: ", $_POST['mytextfield'];
Create a FORM in your HTML and add some INPUT elements with a SUBMIT button. The "action" attribute of the form should contain the path for your PHP script on a server configured to run PHP. Check out this very basic tutorial from Tizag
