accessing with id

[Donotalo]

In a php file, I've a form like the following:

<form method="POST" action="test2.php">
<p align="center">
	<table border="1" frame="box" rules="none">
	    <caption>Sign up</caption>
	    <tr>
		<td>User id<sup>*</sup></td><td><input type="text" id="userid" /></td>
	    </tr>
	</table>
    </p>
</form>

When the form data is submitted, I want to access the information inside the text field having id="userid". How can I do that? I'm a novice in PHP so please explain.

You need to use the name attribute instead of id. Then you can access the value using

$_POST["userid"] 

.
