Hi everyone. Here is a pretty basic php script.

<html><body>

<form action="order.php" method="post">

Name<input name="name" type="text" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
</body></html>

<?php
$cheese = $_POST['name'];

echo "Welcome ". $cheese . ", to my webpage <br />";


?>

It does what I want, but is there a way to display the Welcome "name" to my webpage only after the button is clicked.


Thanks for any help

Not entirely sure I understand your question but does this work?
