webstudent Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Hi, I don't know why it's not working. I can't find my mistake(s). here is what I get after filling the form: Thank you, $name, for your posting: $posting "; ?> And here is my html code: <!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>Forum Posting</title> </head> <body> <!-- Script 5.1 - posting.html --> <div><p>Please complete this form to submit your posting:</p> <form action="handle_post.php" method="post"> <p>First Name: <input type="text" name="first_name" size="20" /></p> <p>Last Name: <input type="text" name="last_name" size="20" /></p> <p>Email Address: <input type="text" name="email" size="30" /></p> <p>Posting: <textarea name="posting" rows="9" cols="30"></textarea></p> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send My Posting" /></p> </form> </div> </body> </html> and here is my PHP code: <!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>Forum Posting</title> </head> <body> <?php // Script 5.2 - handle_post.php //This script receives five values from posting.html: first_name, last_name, email, posting, submit) ini_set ('display_errors', 1); // let me learn from my mistakes error_reporting (E_ALL | E_STRICT); // Show all possible problems! // Get the values from the $_POST array: $first_name = $_POST['first_name']; $last_name = $_POST['last_name']; $posting = $_POST['posting']; // Create a full name variable: $name = $first_name . ' ' . $last_name; // Print a message: print "<div>Thank you, $name, for your posting: <p>$posting</p></div>"; ?> </body> </html> and I saved both in the same directory (htdocs) since the beginning.

Larry Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Are you loading the form through a URL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webstudent Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Yes, the whole time, under http://localhost/posting.html Now I just tried it again and it works. I don't why it didn't work. (may be I had to first restart the computer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
