Simple registration form
A simple registration form on your website allows users to register for your newsletter. The user enters personal data and submits it to the database. The example uses PHP implementation and consists of two pages: The actual registration page, and a "Thank you page" that opens when the registration is done.
The static site form.php generates the form with the input fields and leads to a dynamic site thank_you.php, which transmits the data to the HTTP API.
