normally php is called from a Web page and is used to elaborate and print out the result. usually you pass variables with html form in get or post method, and u receive with $_GET["name"] or $_POST["name"]

It's very easy, in your user input page inside form you need to write code 👉 <input type="text" name="name"> and then you have to call your PHP script and in that you need to write code 👉 $name = $_POST["name"]; so that the name input by user will now stored in $name variable, you can check this by simply echo this , echo $name;

create a file index.php, paste the below code inside it and run it using xamp or wamp code. <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <form method="post" action="#"> First name:<br> <input type="text" name="firstname"> <br> Last name:<br> <input type="text" name="lastname"> </form> <?php //Here is the php code to store the user input to the variable $firstname=$_POST['firstname']; $lastname=$_POST['lastname']; $fullname = "$firstname"." "."$lastname";//concatination with a space in between echo $fullname; ?> </body>
