Hi,

I've created one page video.php in that I need to get the embed code for the video into the text box from the end user and pass the code to one div section. And I've tried,

HTML

<html>
<head>
<title> Welcome </title>
</head>
<body>
<form name="frm" action="#" method="post">
<INPUT TYPE = "Text" NAME = "code">
<input type="submit" value="Enter Code">
</form>
<?php $code1 = $_POST["code"]; ?>
<div class='video-container'>
<center>
<!-- I need the embed code here -->
</center>
</div>
</body>
</html>

But I don't know how to pass the exact value of the text box to the div section. Help me to do this..

Thanks in advance,
Sanjita

Try $_POST["frm"]["code"]

you can then do echo $code1; when you need the code.

A couple things though.
* You should check that the form was submitted and the code was set by checking empty($_POST) and strlen($code1).
* You shouldn't use values sent by the user directly in your code, you should do a filter.
* You should consider using a templating engine, I use Twig[^], it helps with the point above.
