[SOLVED] forms trouble

Recommended Posts

I'm a PHP beginner using notepad++ trying to make my own web based application and I'm having some troubles with simple forms between HTML and PHP. Can you tell me why this coding doesn't work and how to fix it please.

 

<html>

<form action ='help.php' method ="post"</form>

<p>First Name: <input type= "text" Name = "fname" size = "10" maxlength = "25"/></p>

<input type = "submit" name = "submit" value = "submit" /></p>

</html>

 

 

 

<?php

$name = stripslashes($_POST['fname']);

echo $name;

?>

 

Thanks

Your html is pretty messed up, nothing to do with php.

 

<html>
<body>
  <form action='help.php' method="post">
   <p>First Name: <input type= "text" Name="fname" size="10" maxlength="25"/></p>
   <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" /></p>
  </form>
</body>
</html>
