[Copied from mantisbt-dev list]

Basically, you'll need two pages: one page contains the form to be submitted
with normal HTML, and the second page is the target of the form.  There are a
various functions in mantisbt/core/gpc_api.php which are designed to help with
extracting form data and cleaning it at the same time:

gpc_get_int("name") gets an integer, gpc_get_string("name") gets a string, etc.

There is more extensive documentation of how to build plugins in the developer's
guide, including an example form/page interaction, at:

http://docs.mantisbt.org/master/en/developers/index.html

Further, if you would like more extensive examples, there are multiple plugins
available at http://git.mantisforge.org that you can view.  A simple plugin to
look at might be Snippets.
