Hi there. My problem is quite simple, but carries lots of questions of why the hell is this happening.
I'm new at PHP but I'm familiar with the syntax, since It's been 3 years since I code in C, 1 in Java and half year in JS (with HTML and CSS of course).
I was creating a page where I could validate a HTML form using PHP script, it was going everything allright, until I couldn't use the data that was going to the $_POST array. I tested it on some other file and It was like the server just didn't allowed me to do it so. I searched around on internet and I found the print_r() function, which shows the data as an associative array in $_POST, like this: array(KeyName => ValueName).
Check the code and please, help me find why is this happening. I'm brazillian and all I know about english came from netflix, so i'm sorry if I wrote anything wrong. Thanks S&Z
