<h1>Task 8</h1>
<!-- for the purpose of this and subseqent tasks DO NOT modify the method of this form -->
<form id="customerform" action="task8.php" method="get">
<p>please fill in the following form</p>
<p>Customer ID: <input type="text" name="custID"/><br/>
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit">
<input type="reset" value="Reset"></p>

<body><body>the question ask which i must do is make a php page in which a person inputs the known ID and i give them the correct information by the input.
example for page 1 i input 123456
then i submit. what should come back is the ordernumber, orderdate and shipped data relating to customer id 123456.

<?php } ?></table>
<?php }
else {?> <p>No customer with id <?php echo $name ?>
