johne281 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hi I am learning php and i have a problem. The code i have written so far is not displaying. The title is visible at the top of the page so i know it is reading the file but nothing displays on the page itself. Here is my code: <html> <head> <title>Bob's Auto Parts - Order Results</title> </head> <?php //create short variable names $tireqty = $_POST('tireqty'); $oilqty = $_POST('oilqty'); $sparkqty = $_POST('sparkqty') ?> <body> <h1>Bob's Auto Parts</h1> <h2>Order Results</h2> <?php echo "<p>Order processed at ".date('H:i, js FY')."</p>"; echo '<p>Your order is as follows: </p>'; echo $tireqty.' tires<br/>'; echo $oilqty.' bottles of oil<br/>'; echo $sparkqty. ' spark plugs<br/>' ?> </body> </html> It is linked to an order form and everything was working fine earlier. But i dont know whats going on now, Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/165293-php-not-displaying-in-browser/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwptiK Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 You have to use $_POST['name'] not () Also, make sure you have ; on your third $var = $_POST['name']; line.
