Tabularasa Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Good evening, I am discovering php and would like to play with forms. I have created the following form test2.php <html> <body> <form action="welcome.php" method="GET"> <p>Your name: <input type="text" name="name"></p> <p>your age: <input type="text" name="age"></p> <p><input type="submit"></p> </form> </body> </html> I have then created the welcome.php called by test2.php. Both forms are in the same folder. welcome.php <html> <body> <p>Test: <?php echo "Success"?></p> <p>Hi <?php echo htmlspecialchars($_GET['name'])?></p> <p>You are <?php echo (int)$_GET['age']?> years old</p> </body> </html> I then open test2.php with Firefox. I enter the required input ("Tabularasa","32") and hit submit. I am then redirected toward welcome.php with my browser window showing: file:///C:/wamp/www/test/welcome.php?name=Tabularasa&age=32 However, once I am on welcome.php is only see the following: Test: Hi You are years old looks like php is not returning anything. The funniest thing is that when I run welcome.php under the debug window of phpDesigner I at least get Test: Success which isn't the case when I open welcome.php directly with Firefox. What is happening? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/74652-problems-with-forms/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 How are you accessing these pages in your browser? You need to have a web server setup and use http://localhost/filename.php in the address bar. You can't simply open the files using your browser.

unidox Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Thorpe is right, I use apache,mysql,and php on my home machine for local testing. Google on setting up apache and then you can view locally. Otherwise you have to upload to a web server.
