Put the video URL here<br>

<input id="subject" style="width: 800px;"type="text" name="firstname" value=""><br>

<input type="submit" value="Submit">

</form>

now i have to get the value from the form, then shows in that line 305, then save it, then it success, im using this code to call that value in different file and folders, i know there is something missing, and surely not working.


<?php echo $_GET['subject']; ?>

you must put name of input in your $_GET[].


<?php echo $_GET['firstname']; ?>

and also i think you must try $_POST[]


<?php echo $_POST['firstname']; ?>
