Hello and welcome to Stack Overflow ! Unfortunaly, you cannot process or send the data of a form only with HTML and Javascript. It is because these languages are processed only client-side and cannot really send anything alone. To do it you will need to put all your input and checkbox fields, as well as the submit button (by the way you will need to add a type='submit' in your confirm button), in a <form> tag. This form tag will get 2 essential attributes : method and action . The method is how you want to send the data : in short, it will be GET if you want the data to be transferred via the URL (example : for a search bar), or it will be POST if you want it to be more secure and to transfe

This isn't a very good question for Stackoverflow because it doesn't deal with a specific problem is and is asking for general advice. Lots of different people have different solutions for getting started, but I think that learning PHP is probably the easiest place to start. [this video]

I watch this [this video] Tutorial about PHP, and in his video he is making an attribute to be private , means that we can't access it outside the class . But when he is creating a function that returns that private attribute, he is able to echo that attribute. It's working for him, and for it just not printing anything <?php class Book { private $rating; public $title; function __construct($title, $rating) { $this -> title = $title; $this -> rate = $rate; } function getRating() { return $this -> rating; } } $book1 = new Book('Harry Potter', 'PG-13'); // object instance echo $book1 -> getRating(); // Does not print anything ?> Update I changed $this -> rate = $rate; To $this -> rate = $rating; Bu
