Hi!
Please refer to the online installation procedures for using PHP with
Apache. Make sure that your Apache server is running as a 'service' (daemon)
by verifying its status under 'services.msc' snap-in for Microsoft
Management Console.
Have you ever tried accessing the file by NOT double-clicking on it? Try
firing up your favorite browser and go somewhere like 'http://localhost/' or
'http://127.0.0.1/' to see if Apache really is running. Also check where you
have saved your 'helloworld.php' (or something), make sure it's under the
DocumentRoot of Apache (by default, this will be under 'C:\Program
Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs'). If you're sure that PHP is installed
properly as per documentation, Apache is up and running, and your PHP file
is under the DocumentRoot, try visiting something like
'http://127.0.0.1/helloworld.php'.
HTH.

hi list,
i have managed to successfully install php and i am now going through the manual and
trying a few of the examples given there. The examples i have tried till now are all
working except for one. The example about inputting in the form and then displaying it
through php is not working for me. But when i run it i get the entire code in
action.php instead.
The example i am referring to is:
form action="action.php" method="post"> <p>Your name: <input type="text" name="name"
/></p> <p>Your age: <input type="text" name="age" /></p> <p><input type="submit"
/></p></form
action.php:
Hi <?php echo $_POST['name']; ?>.You are <?php echo $_POST['age']; ?>
Please tell me whts wrong....
thanks in advance

Is this the contebnt of the PHP file ?
Hi <?php echo $_POST['name']; ?>.You are <?php echo $_POST['age']; ?>
It can not start by the "Hi" word ...
Action.php should be something like
<?
$name = $_POST['name'];
$age = $_POST['age'];
echo "Hi $name. You are $age";
?>

hi,
1) The lines in the form are in the correct order.
2)i tried using HTTP_POST['age']; ?> , but it still displays the entire code.
Not quite sure wht u meant by "AUTOGLOBAL ON|OFF setting"..... If u meant
register_globals in php.ini file, then it is set to on.
3) Regarding action.php:
phpinfo();
?>
It still only displays the code.
I ran action.php by itself and looked at the info page and i couldnot any entries for
$HTTP_POST['name'] or $ _POST['name'] or
$HTTP_POST['age'] or $_POST['age']
Please help.

Hi
1) Line " form action="action.php" method="post">
Your name: [input] type="text" name="name" />
Your age: [input] />
[input]
should read
"
Your name: [input] name="name" />
Your age: [input]
[input]
"
assuming that is correct
2) Try .You are $HTTP_POST['age']; ?>
REASON - php.ini - AUTOGLOBAL ON|OFF setting
3) If that doesn't work try
4) action.php:
phpinfo();
?>
Try to locate entries for $HTTP_POST['name'] or $ _POST['name'] or
$HTTP_POST['age'] or $_POST['age']
See if they carry any values.
REASON - php.ini - Other settings
And resubmit to the list with your results.

You haven't closed your form tag which is causing it to all go wrong.
Here is some working code for you:
<form action="action.php" method="post">
<p>Your name: <input type="text" name="name"></p>
<p>Your age: <input type="text" name="age"></p>
<p><input type="submit" /></p>
</form>
action.php:
<?php
//Check to see if user has clicked submit
if (isset($_POST['name']) && isset($_POST['age']))
{
//Check to see if user has entered data in both fields
if (!empty($_POST['name']) && !empty($_POST['age']))
{
//User has entered data in both fields so display result
?>
Hi <?php echo $_POST['name']; ?> .You are <?php echo $_POST['age'];
}
else
{
//User has not populated both fields so send a warning to user telling
them what to do
?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
window.alert('You must complete both fields');
</script>
<?php
}
}
?>
You would probably find it easier to read if you format your HTML a
little, a little formatting goes a long way when it comes to debugging
HTML, especially if your using the devils own tables :P
