Explaination
From line <form> - Here is form beginning form elements pass all data to new page on submitting. Form elements pass only that data which is child element of form.
E.g <form>child Elements</form>
method= method is default get but we can use get or post.
When we use get our data pass through url which we see in url and post
pass data hidden.
action = action is our url for submitting data on that page like any server side page where it catch that data.( which we see in php tutorial) for now we just pass and server side language catch it.

Other line after that are data elements which contain in its its variable and variable name is name=”value” this value is the variable name which we catch in server side.

Submit = button submit is used to submit our its very important for submitting our forms.

Here is a list of Input Types Elements like radio,checkbox,button,date,select

select element and properties
select has a list of child elements which values we defined inside option element when we submit the form the selected values pass through the form
<option>First</option> and <option value=”1”>First</option>
Here you two types of option i declare both is same but if we dont defined (set value=”value”) then option text value will be passed else value attribute value pass.

We can also make default selection of any element by using attribute
selected=”selected” in option element

We can set the size of select box like display more than one value at a time by using.
size=”n” where n= no. Of elements to display

We can also make multiple selection this time the value will pass in array format.
By using multiple=”multiple” but for using mutiple we have to change name in array for like my variable name is : -

name=”vegeable”
then i have to change it to

name=”vegetable[]”
if we don’t do that then we only get single selected value only

Simple All Select Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
 <title>HTML Select</title>
</head>
<body>
 <form action="http://localhost/form.php"> 
        <select name="fruit">
  <option>Apple</option><option>Mango</option><option>Orange</option>
                    </select><br>
         <select name="animal" size="4">
  <option>Cat</option><option>Dog</option><option>Elephant</option><option>Horse</option><option>Zebra</option>
        </select><br>
        <select name="vegetable[]" size="4" multiple="multiple">
  <option>Potato</option><option>Onion</option><option>Cabbage</option><option>Pea</option><option>Carrot</option>
        </select><br>
