Step 1) Add HTML

Use a <form> element to process the input. You can learn more about this in our PHP tutorial. Then add inputs (with a matching label) for each field:

Example

<div class="container">
<form action="action_page.php">

<label for="fname">First Name</label>
<input type="text" id="fname" name="firstname" placeholder="Your name..">

<label for="lname">Last Name</label>
<input type="text" id="lname" name="lastname" placeholder="Your last name..">

<label for="country">Country</label>
<select id="country" name="country">
<option value="australia">Australia</option>
<option value="canada">Canada</option>
<option value="usa">USA</option>
</select>

<label for="subject">Subject</label>
<textarea id="subject" name="subject" placeholder="Write something.." style="height:200px"></textarea>

<input type="submit" value="Submit">

</form>
</div>

Step 2) Add CSS:

Example

/* Style inputs with type="text", select elements and textareas */
input[type=text], select, textarea {
width: 100%; /* Full width */
padding: 12px; /* Some padding */
border: 1px solid #ccc; /* Gray border */
border-radius: 4px; /* Rounded borders */
box-sizing: border-box; /* Make sure that padding and width stays in place */
margin-top: 6px; /* Add a top margin */
margin-bottom: 16px; /* Bottom margin */
resize: vertical /* Allow the user to vertically resize the textarea (not horizontally) */
}

/* Style the submit button with a specific background color etc */
input[type=submit] {
background-color: #04AA6D;
color: white;
padding: 12px 20px;
border: none;
border-radius: 4px;
cursor: pointer;
}

/* When moving the mouse over the submit button, add a darker green color */
input[type=submit]:hover {
background-color: #45a049;
}

/* Add a background color and some padding around the form */
.container {
border-radius: 5px;
background-color: #f2f2f2;
padding: 20px;
}
