WTF is going? heheI'm going nuts over DA here. Any other ideas? The fact that you cannot post any data to your installation of PHP somewhat highlights the fact that either PHP or your web server configuration are most certainly *not* working fine at all. You already know it's nothing to do with your code, you've tried various pieces of other code (including some from myself) and each and every time it shows the same thing - you cannot post data to your scripts. Surely it's quite obvious you should now be talking to your web host, or re-configuring your server/firewall if you did it yourself, because the problem is now conclusively demonstrated as being there. -- Best regards, Richard Davey http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/296.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Your code is (mostly) fine. The only part that didn't work is the final
the form has been submitted section because it comes after the HTML
page end. Move it to the start. Also, you don't have a closing form
tag.
The following is your code, changed slightly.. try it and see but it
works perfectly here (PHP 4.3.2, Apache, Windows). I added the echo
time() line so you can see if the page reloads or not:
html
body
?php
if ($_POST['submit']) {
echo The form has been submittedbr;
echo time();
}
?
form action=?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']? method=post

I am fairly certain should be doing something. Thank you SOOO much for
the help. I've been working on setting up php for four days now and
EVERYTHING else works (phpinfo() calls, etc), but for some reason forms,
even ones that I know should be working don't take values. They just
return you to the same screen.
CODE:
html
body
brbr
?=$errormessage?
br
form action=?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']? method=post
table width=500 border=0 cellpadding=5 cellspacing=0
tr
tdYour name:/td
tdinput type=text name=namevalue=?=$_POST['name']?/td
/tr
tr
tdYour email:/td
tdinput type=text name=email value=?=$_POST['email']?td
tr
tr
tdYour message:/td
tdtextarea name=message?=$_POST['message']?/textarea/td/tr
/table
input type=hidden name=required value=name,email,message
input type=submit name=submit value=submit
/body/html
?php
if ($_POST['submit']) {
print the form has been submitted;
}
?
What's the output to the browser when you submit this?

RE: Re[2]: [PHP] [Q]PHP not taking input values from forms
I tried adding that code you gave me, but all it does go back to the same
page, and doesn't echo out the time(); results. I can't seem to figure it
out for the life of me. like i said, everything else in php is working fine,
except for this.

Your code is (mostly) fine. The only part that didn't work is the final
the form has been submitted section because it comes after the HTML
page end. Move it to the start. Also, you don't have a closing form
tag.
The following is your code, changed slightly.. try it and see but it
works perfectly here (PHP 4.3.2, Apache, Windows). I added the echo
time() line so you can see if the page reloads or not:
html
body
?php
if ($_POST['submit']) {
echo The form has been submittedbr;
echo time();
}
?
form action=?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']? method=post
table width=500 border=0 cellpadding=5 cellspacing=0
tr
tdYour name:/td
tdinput type=text name=namevalue=?=$_POST['name']?/td
/tr
tr
tdYour email:/td
tdinput type=text name=email value=?=$_POST['email']?td
tr
tr
tdYour message:/td
tdtextarea name=message?=$_POST['message']?/textarea/td/tr
/table
input type=hidden name=required value=name,email,message
input type=submit name=submit value=submit
/form
/body
/html
