posting problem

Incubator

Hi,
I seem to have a little problem woth the $_POST variable.
for a test go to here

the code for the form is

<html>
<body>
<form action="action.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <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>

and the code for the php is:

<html>
<body>
Hi <?php echo $_POST["name"]; ?>.
You are <?php echo $_POST["age"]; ?> years old.


</body>
</html>

and for some reason this simple thing won´t work.
and php is enabled because other simple echo scripts work.

edit: I switched provider and now it works

the action.php should be :

<html>
<body>
Hi <?php echo $POST["$name"]; ?>.
You are <?php echo $POST["$age"]; ?> years old.
</body>
</html>

missing $ on name and age

thnx 🙂
strange though, because it did work on a different server.
anywhay, a different question, I´m intending to add the date when the message was posted, but the date() function gets the date of when you are viewing the page, so how do I fix that?

and how do I make my new post to be added to the page instead of overwriting the previous one?
thnx🙂

edit: ok, so basically i am trying to create a simplified version of posting.
where one enters the stuff and it simply get´s pasted onto another page peramantly (with the according html styles for the looks)
but since the posts on the current page i made, are not permanent (when i check the php file the post is gone), I think i´m on the wrong track.
