nootkan Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) After a long absense, I've decided to try to once again get my head around php. I have made to chapter 6 but seem to have an issue that I cannot debug. Was wondering if someone could have a look at my code to see what I am missing or doing wrong? register.html <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTDxhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http:///www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv-"content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <title>Registration Form</title> </head> <body> <!-- register.html --> <div><p style="font-size:20px"><strong>Please fill out this form to register:</strong></p> <form action="handle_reg.php" method="post"> <p>Email Address: <input type="text" name="email" size="30" /></p> <p>Password: <input type="password" name="password" size="20" /></p> <p>Confirm Password: <input type="password" name="confirm" size="20" /></p> <p>Year You Were Born: <input type="text" name="year" value="YYYY" size="4" /></p> <p>Favorite Color: <select name="color"><option value="">Pick One</option><option value="red">Red</option><option value="yellow">Yellow</option> <option value="green">Green</option><option value="blue">Blue</option></select></p> <p><input type="checkbox" name="terms" value="yes" /> I agree to the terms (whatever they may be).</p> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Register" /> </form> </div> </body> </html> handle_reg.php <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <title>Registration</title> </head> <body> <h1>Registration Results</h1> <?php // Script 6.2 - handle_reg.php /* This script receives seven values from register.html: email, password, confirm, year, terms, color, submit */ // Address error management, if you want. // Flag variable to track success: $okay = TRUE; // If there were no errors, print a success message: if ($okay) { print '<p>You have been successfully registered (but not really).</p>'; } ?> </body> </html> Here is what I see when filling out the form: I am using wamp with apache 2.4.33, php 7.2.4 and mysql 5.7.21 Edited September 22, 2020 by nootkan added server details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nootkan Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 Okay I was able to figure out what I did wrong. It seems that somehow I managed to call the scripts in the browers with c:/ instead of http://localhost. Not sure when or how that happened as I usually just reopen the browser from my last session. In any case, I'm good to go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Yeah, that can be pretty common. Kudos for figuring it out and thanks for letting us know you did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
