[php]

Untitled Document <?php if (filter_has_var(INPUT_POST, "bName") && filter_has_var(INPUT_POST, "gName") && filter_has_var(INPUT_POST, "bPart") && filter_has_var(INPUT_POST, "device")) {

$bName = filter_input(INPUT_POST, “bName”);
$gName = filter_input(INPUT_POST, “gName”);
$bPart = filter_input(INPUT_POST, “bPart”);
$device = filter_input(INPUT_POST, “device”);
print <<<EOT

$bName and $gName
Went up the hill

To Fetch a $device of water
$bName fell down and broke his $bPart
And $gName came tumbling after. \n EOT; } else { //create form for the input print <<<EOT

Please fill in the blanks below, and I will tell you a story
