6,212 PointsRetrieving Form Data
Nick talks about not going into retrieving the data from the form. I want to make a website with sign up and login functionality eventually, (which will require a form for usernames, passwords, and other info), and I want to know where I should go after I learn how to make forms.
Thanks for answering!

7,609 PointsThere is a PHP track which I'm currently following along with. We haven't gotten to login forms yet, specifically, but early on in the track, they do teach you how to handle data from a contact form, which has many things in common with a login form. I hope this helps :-)
