Embedded PhP script not running

Anon

Hi there,
I have created 2 files, html and php. A submit button in HTML form when clicked should fired off the php script p-3-1.php but it doesn't. Please help. Sample code listed below

-- HTML -----

<head>
<title>Test php script p-3-1.html</title>
</head>
<body>
<! --file p-3-1.html ---
<form method="Post" Action="p-3-1.php">
<h3>Display PHPINFO </h3>
<br><Input Type="Submit" Value="Display PhPInfo">

</form>
</body>

-- php script p-3-1.php ----
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Thanks.
Cheers, Lennie

it should do exactly what its told, leave your html page and go to php page and shoe the phpinfo...

Hi Ben,
I am new to PhP and is using windows version php4.2.2 with IIS. I think I have have installed it according to the installation manual. Could I send you a copy of the PhP.ini for a look-see ??

Thanks,
Cheers Lennie

Hi Lenny,

I've you've installed PHP correctly according to the manual, this script should work. It's basically the most simple script you could have...

Try to create a php-script like this:

and name it simple.php and try it to see if it works. If it doesn't show "Yes, it works!!!!" something's wrong with your installation. If it does, your own script should work too.

Let us know!

what exactly is wrong?

Hi Maarten and all,

I have created and tested the php script: simple.php and it works well. It's driving me nuts. All I want is to display the data input via textbox (html)to be displayed on the browser via php script. The reason being I am trying to understand how Php interact with HTML form.

Cheers,
Lennie

Hi Chase,
Here the scenerio. I learn better by doing it. I copied the html and php script from a tutorial book directly. All it does is input name and address via the HTML form. This command, <form method="Post" Action="p-3-1.php"> should fired off p-3-1.php when the submit button on HTML form is clicked . But it is not happening. I am not sure where have I gone wrong. Please point me to the right direction. Thanks Alot.

-- sample of the script.

<head>
<title>Testing running php script p-3-1.html</title>
</head>
<body>
<! --file p-3-1.html ---
<form method="Post" Action="p-3-1.php">
<h3>Get the Users Name and address</h3>
<br>Name:
<br><input type="Text" Name="User_name">
<br>Email Address:
<br><Input type="Text" Name="address">
<br>
<br><Input Type="Submit" Value="display Info">
</form>
</body>

Cheers,
Lennie
