foxtrotwhiskey Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Any errors/warnings? What exactly is not working? Please be as specific as possible so we don't have to figure out what kind of problem you are having.

bobbinsbro Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 whatever your problem, it's probably being caused by incorrect use of double quotes here: <?php echo " Product:<br/> {$_POST["product"]}";?><br/><br/> change that to: <?php echo " Product:<br/> {$_POST['product']}";?><br/><br/> (single quotes around product).

the182guy Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Better still use the print_f function: http://uk3.php.net/print_f print_f(" Product:<br/> %s", $_POST['product']); Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/132348-php-help-with-validation-of-a-form/#findComment-688301 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbinsbro Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 well, in the code you posted above, you have an unnecessary { on line 43.

realshadow Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Honestly no idea what is causing the problem. Tested it with your code at my pc and it worked like a charm. (PHP 5.2.6) Something similar happened once to my friend and he had to restart apache and it fixed it self. One of the reasons why it would show you the code instead of result would be that its not php file but html file instead.
