</form>

</body>
</html>

The problem I have is that despite debug with the print_r statements when I run the php in a browser it does not appear to do anything other than provide the form. It does not appear to run the php scripting elements.

I relatively new to php/html but not to programming.

Any assistance with this would be appreciated as I find it frustrating.

Turn on php error_reporting on the very top of the file (after the <?php openning tag)

Does the URL of this action is correct - action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>

Try,

<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
