ASP Request.from Tutorial

ASP Post

Previous lessons from the ASP form acquisition created an ASP page processing information sent via an HTML form with Get method. In this lesson, we will look at how to handle data transfer through the Post method and see how it differs from the lessons of the past.


Change our HTML form
As we begin to create a new ASP file, we want to change our "tizagform.html" file using the Post method and form to transfer the data to different ASP pages. The following example provides the latest code for "Tizagform.html".

<form method= "POST" action= "tizagpost.asp" >
Name <input type= "text" name= "name"/>
Age <input type= "text" name= "age"/>
<input type= "Submit"/>
</form>

Create an ASP post processor
Our new ASP file will be called "tizagpost.asp" and will be saved in the same directory "tizagform.html".

When the Post method is used to send the information retrieved by the data to the form of the Request object collection. Therefore, the only difference between get and post processors is to replace all the QueryString tables.

In the following example we have made the correct changes and emphasized them in red.

<%
Dim name, age
Name = Request. ("Name")
Age = Request. Form ("Age")
Response.Write ("Name:" & name & "<br/>")
Response.Write (' Age: ' & Age & "<br/>")
%>
