    How do we associate a php script with an HTML form?

    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>Generic Input Form</TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
    <FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="display_input.php">
    <P><strong>Text Field:</strong><br>
    <TEXTAREA NAME="text1" COLS=45 ROWS=5 WRAP=virtual></TEXTAREA></P>
    <P><strong>String Functions:</strong><br>
    <INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="func" VALUE="md5">get md5<br>
    <INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="func" VALUE="strlen">get length of string<br>
    <INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="func" VALUE="strrev"> reverse the string<br>
    <INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="func" VALUE="strtoupper"> make string uppercase<br>
    <INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="func" VALUE="strtolower"> make string lowercase<br>
    <INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="func" VALUE="ucwords"> make first letter of all words uppercase</P>
    <P><INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submit" VALUE="Do Something With the String"></P>
    </FORM>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>

    I have this code which associates to the following php script

    <?php
    if(($_POST[text1]=="")||($_POST[func]=="")){
    header("Location: remote.html");
    exit;
    }
    $result = $_POST[func]($_POST[text1]);
    ?>
    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>Results</TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
    <?php
    echo "$result";
    ?>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>

    But on pressing the submit button, i get to display_input.php but i get an error saying that the constants 'text1' and 'func' are unidentified. What should i do?

    Use quotes like this:

    $result = $_POST["func"];
