placeholders

hi there I have a question

how can you get the the value of a <input type="text"> and use it in the snippet?

thanks in advance!

I assume your input is part of a form, if so then you can use

for example:

<form action="" method="POST">
<input type="text" value="sample" name="sample" />
</form>

Snippet:

name = $_POST['sample'];


like that?

yes, but you need to submit the form so the $_post variable will be available.
