This is Technically a PHP Question
The Answer is that you can access the value of username and password in sample.php using the global variable $_POST (because the form action is POST ) if it is GET then u use $_GET and and u need to pass to the $_POST the index (name) of the field that you want to capture its value as following

$username = $_POST;
$password = $_POST;

REMEMBER THAT THESE VALUES ARE ONLY ACCESSIBLE WHEN THE FORM IS SUBMITTED
If you tried to grab it without submitting the form you will get PHP ERROR

Member Avatar for Amr87

Tell me exactly what are you trying to do with this code?

Member Avatar for momonq1990

what i want to happen is to send all value from one form and send it and post it to another page.

Member Avatar for Amr87

ok, you said you want to do POST operation for data from page to another and this is always handled by server side application like PHP
