[RESOLVED] Linking pages

coachcleats

I am trying to link a html page to a php script. After writing the code for the html page then imputing the information into the page and pressing the submit button on the html form. The Save as dialog box opens and if I'm trying to save the php script somewhere instead of pulling the php file and rendering it in the browser. Any ideas??

Post your php and HTML so we can have a look and see if there are any errors.

thanks for you help
Here is the code for the form.html:

<html>
<head>
<title>HTML From</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="HandleForm.php" METHOD=POST>
First Name <input type=text name="FirstName" size=20><br>
Last Name <input type=text name="Lastname" size=40><br>
E-mail address <input type=text name="Email" size=60><br> 
Comments <br><textarea name="Comments" rows=5 cols=40></textarea><br>
<Input type=submit name="Submit" value="Submit!"
</form>
</body>
</html>

Here is the code for the handleform.php:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset-iso-8859-1" />
</head>
<body>
<?php
/*This page receives and handles the data
generated by "form.html". */
print "Your first name is $FirstName.<br>\n";
Print "Your last name is $LastName.<br>\n";
Print "Your E-mail address is $Email.<br>\n";
Print "This is waht you had to say:<br.\n
$Comments<br>

?>
</body>
</html>

Do you have any commands anywhere which change "Firstname" into $firstname?

For example

$firstname = $_POST['Firstname'];

Then try echoing out $firstname and it should work.

Repeat this for all other variables.

try to use GET Method I think that will work

Thank you Nodral that worked!

I didn't define my variables. I also had some bad code I didn't have any closing (") or (😉 after the last line. Once I changed this and defined my variable as you said, It worked
