B - Storyteller

Create a Fantasy Story Teller website that allows the user to enter details about a fantasy adventure.

The website should:

  • Ask the user to enter the hero’s name using a text box
  • Allow the user to choose a weapon from a drop-down list
  • Ask the user to enter an enemy using a text box
  • Allow the user to choose a location using radio buttons
  • Send the form data to story.php using the GET method
  • Retrieve the form data in story.php
  • Use the information entered by the user to create and display a personalised fantasy story
  • Include a link that allows the user to return to the form and create another story
<?php

    $name = $_GET["name"];
    $location = $_GET["location"];

    echo "<p>Once upon a time, a brave hero named " . $name . " travelled to the " . $location . ".</p>";

?>

 

In PHP, variables can be included directly inside double quotes or joined to text using the concatenation operator (.).
Both methods can produce the same output.

<?php

    $name = $_GET["name"];

    echo "<p>My name is $name</p>";
    echo "<p>My name is" . $name . "</p>";

?>
