Hello, I just started teaching myself PHP I've only been doing it for 3 days now Today, I hit a barrier : I am using an online tutorial, and I came across this example HTML code : <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>My Form</title> </head> <body> <form action="TestFile.php" method=post> My name is: <br> <input type="text" name="YourName"> My favorite word is: <br /><input type="text" name="FavoriteWord"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Here we go !"> </form> </body> </html> Ok, that's the HTML form. And here is the PHP file "TestFile.php" <html> <head> <title>My Output!</title> </head> <?php // Capture the values posted to this php program from the text fields // which were named 'YourName' and 'FavoriteWord' respectively $YourName = $_REQUEST['YourName'] ; $FavoriteWord = $_REQUEST['FavoriteWord'] ; ?> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> <p> Hi <?php print $YourName; ?> <p> You like the word <b> <?php print $FavoriteWord; ?>??</b> <p>That is a nice word. Well done! </body> </html> But, it's not working. The HTML form works fine, it inputs the info. But, when I click "Submit", the PHP file does not provide the output It shows the statements, ok. But, the "name" and "favorite word" fields are blank. It shows nothing. Everything is exactly as stated in the Online Tutorial. So, I know I did not miss anything. But, why is the output not being displayed? Thanks
