bobby317 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 I think you are not checking if the form is submitted: add a hidden field to your form <input type="hidden" name="submit" value="true" /> then see if form has been submitted if it has been do something: <?php if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { //set to variable for easer use $name = "$_POST['name']"; //echo variable echo "$name"; } Hope this helps: http://www.php.net/manual/en/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Use only full opening php tags in your code - <?php You got caught using php's lazy-way short open tag <? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
