Question

I am writing a web sign up form and related php I have installed Xampp in my computer.. I had written newindex.php like below

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title of the document</title>    
</head>    
<body>

<form action="signup.php" method="post" >
    <input type="text" name="first" placeholder="Firstname"><br>
    <input type="text" name="last" placeholder="Lastname"><br>
    <input type="text" name="uid" placeholder="Usernmae"><br>
    <input type="password" name="pwd" placeholder="Password"><br>
    <button type="submit">Sign Up</button>
</form>

</body>
</html>

the above code which is HTML code for my signup where there are four fields first name last name uid along with password and I used method POST

where my action is signup.php and method is post

here is my signup.php

    <?php        

    include 'dbh.php';        

    $first= $_POST['first'];
    $last= $_POST['last'];
    $uid= $_POST['uid'];
    $pwd= $_POST['pwd'];        

    echo $first."<br>";
    echo $last."<br>";
    echo $uid."<br>";
    echo $pwd."<br>"; 
?>

when I am running I m getting the following...on the browser

which is incorrect

-----current output-------------

<?php    

include 'dbh.php';    

$first=$_POST['first'];
$last=$_POST['last'];
$uid=$_POST['uid'];
$pwd=$_POST['pwd'];    

echo $first."<br>";
echo $last."<br>";
echo $uid."<br>";
echo $pwd."<br>";   

?>

the above output is wrong ,it should be the values when user insert into the form which i created earlier

how can I fix this ...

how are you running your script on browser. execute using localhost in url — Bhavik, Feb 01 '17 at 10:47
is your apache webservice running? then with url to your application path — Iqbal Rizky, Feb 01 '17 at 10:51
is it is running....control panel shows both mysql and apache running...@ntaloventi — Riyas Randhava, Feb 01 '17 at 10:52
change it to localhost/newindex.php . when you execute php file, make sure your xampp is on and apache service running, also url must be localhost/ur-path-in-htdocs — Bhavik, Feb 01 '17 at 10:59

your script has to be in the folder htdocs of xampp if you installed it in standard you can copy both files in path for example C:\Program Files (x86)\xampp\htdocs You can acces these files if you type in browser URL: http://localhost/name_of_your_file.html for example otherwise your code will not be executed

If you open the file as file:///c:/whatever the php code will not be executed as you are bypassing the server by directly opening the php file.

You have to open the file using http://localhost/newindex.php. This way, apache will process the request and execute your php code before sending the response.

I have made necessary changes. Please try below code and inform me if you will face any error.

HTML Code : -

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title of the document</title>
</head>
<body>

<form action="signup.php" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="first" placeholder="Firstname"><br>
    <input type="text" name="last" placeholder="Lastname"><br>
    <input type="text" name="uid" placeholder="Usernmae"><br>
    <input type="password" name="pwd" placeholder="Password"><br>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Sign Up">
</form>

</body>
</html>

signup.php : -

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
    echo $_POST['first']."<br>";
    echo $_POST['last']."<br>";
    echo $_POST['uid']."<br>";
    echo $_POST['pwd'];
}
?>
