[SOLVED] Basic Form - Not Working!

[grungefreak]

Hi,

 

I have been php programming for a long time. But this is doing my head in..I cannot get a form to post to my php file. I really cannot see where I'm going wrong. I press the submit button and nothing happens, not even an error. Here's the code:

 

 

<form action="feedback.php" method="post">
    <input name="name" type="text" value="name" class="textInput"/>
     <input name="email" type="text" value="email" class="textInput"/>
     <textarea name="comments" cols="" rows="" class="textInput"></textarea>
     <input name="submit" type="button" value="Submit"/>
    
    </form>

 

The feedback.php file does exist and is in the same directory as the form...

print out all the posted variables...

 

i.e.

put in

 

print_r($_POST);

exit();

 

on the top of your feedback.php form

 

also you should probably swap

<input type="button" with <input type="submit"

It has to be type="submit"

 

A button is just that, a button. It doesn't have any default behavior.

It has to be type="submit"

 

Of course, I can't believe I didn't spot that. Thanks you . Solved.
