Can someone help a php newbie? Making a post to php but no data posted.
html file contains this:
<head>
<title>database connection</title>
</head>
<body>
<form name= "search" action="welcome.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" id= "fname" name="fname">
<input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>
</body>
php file contains this:
<html>
<head> <title> Handler </title> </head>
<body>
<?php
echo "beginning ";
if(isset($_POST['search'])) {echo "Welcome" . $_POST["fname"];} else {echo "post not set for fname ";}
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") { echo "form submitted";}{echo "request method post not set ";}
echo "end";
?>
</body>
</html>
output gives me this:
beginning post not set for fname request method post not set end
Im using php 5.2. Im running a windows 7 pc with web server configured (iis). I have validated that php is running.
The above text is the entire text for each file.
