Problem with my submit script

MisterSpock

Hey, i have a submit.php script that i'm having problems with, for some reason it's showing the php on the form just above the text fields.

if you want to take a look to see what I mean, it's http://86.183.116.116/cb/index.php?action=submit <--- there.

The code is.

<!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">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>CB Handles</title>
</head>

<body>

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
require "insert.php";
exit;
}
?>


<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>" method="post">
<p>Handle: <input type="text" name="handle" /></p>
<p>Real Name: <input type="text" name="name" /></p>
<p>Regular Channel: <input type="text" name="channel" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><input type="submit" /></p>
</form>

</body>
</html>

Thanks for the help!

What's the code look like for index.php? Since every line of the code you posted above appears with a "<br>" prepended before it in the source of the page you linked to, I'd say it looks like you're just opening a file and outputting its contents rather than evaluating it for PHP code.

Hey, i'm the original poster, it wouldn't let me log in last night so I had to make a new account.

anyway, yeah It was my index.php that caused the problem

echo fgets($file). "<br />";

That problem is now sorted. I've encountered a new problem though, with

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>" method="post">

I get the following error - in the url i get

http://localhost/cb/<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>

and the error is:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /cb/< on this server.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Sounds like your file is once again being read as plain text rather than parsed and evaluated for PHP code. Is this the same page as the code snippet you posted above? If so, does the other PHP code work on the page?

Can you show us how you're loading the above code and displaying it (e.g. what does index.php do when "action" is set to "submit")?
