• HTML requirements
  1. A basic html form page format
  2. Have a text field that asks for their first name
  3. A text field that asks for their age
  4. A set of radio buttons that asks for gender (male female other)
  5. The method should be "post" and the action should be "prog1.php"
  6. And the page and any output must validate to XHTML 1.0 Transitional
• Programming Requirements
  1. As it is slightly safer, use the $_POST['namefromform'] type format to grab your responses from the form (note: as a reminder, namefromform is whatever you used in the name="  " attributes in the form)
  2. Only print if they have entered something, but you can keep the form on the page regardless
  3. Print back the name in a "Hello $name" format, but, if it is YOUR first name, have a different greeting. In my case, if the name matched "Phil" I'd say, "Wow, Phil is such a cool name" ;)
  4. Take their age, and print (using a loop, probably while()) out a countdown to their age. (If they are 10, you should see it print 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10)
  5. Use a switch statement for the gender, and if they are male, print out a link to http://www.geek.com, if female print out a link to http://www.geekgirl.com/, and if they choose "other" have it print out both.
  6. Use trim() and strlen to partially decontaminate the user input
• Print the date at the bottom of the page in the format Saturday, January 28, 2006
