ASP Request.Form Collection

The Request.Form Collection in ASP is used for returning the collection of form elements that posted to the HTTP request body, with a form using the POST method. 

Syntax

Request.Form( element )[(index)|.Count]

Parameter:

• Element: It specifies the name of the form elements. It is a required attribute.
• Index: It is an optional parameter that represents a position of form elements that used to access. It can be any integer from 1 to n.

Example 1: Below code uses the for loop to access the form values filled by the user. We could retrieve those values like this: 

PHP

<%
for i=1 to Request.Form("color").Count
 Response.Write(Request.Form("color")(i) & "<br>")
next
%>

Output:

Blue
Green

Example 2: 

HTML

<form action="submit.asp" method="post">
    <p>First name: <input name="firstname"></p>
    <p>Last name: <input name="lastname"></p>
