I've made a webserver with an esp8266.
sResponse =
"<p>"
"<center>"
"<h1>ESP8266 Web Server</h1>"
"<p>Time <input type='text' name='date_hh' size=2 autofocus> hh <input type='text' name='date_mm' size=2 autofocus> mm <input type='text' name='date_ss' size=2 autofocus> ss</p>"
"<p><a href=\"?pin=FUNCTION1ON\"><button>Save</button></a>"
"</center>";
client.print(sResponse);
I get the following from the webserver:
.
If I click on the save button, I want to read the value of the three text fields.
What do I have to do? Or, is there another (better) way to built up a webserver like this?
Thanks in advance!

You can start with this.
You can pass the values as query string arguments with a GET request when the "Save" button is clicked.
You can then access the arguments using server.arg().
// Libraries
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>
// WiFi network
const char* ssid = "your_ssid";
const char* password = "your_password";
ESP8266WebServer server ( 80 );
char htmlResponse[3000];
void handleRoot() {
snprintf ( htmlResponse, 3000,
"<!DOCTYPE html>\

server.send ( 200, "text/html", htmlResponse );

void setup() {

Serial.println();
Serial.println();
Serial.print("Connecting to ");
Serial.println(ssid);
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);

Serial.print(".");

Serial.println("");
