For some reason when I use the POST method for a from lets says the value to name is Bob. When it echos the $_POST['name'] is says string(3) "Bob" rather then just printing Bob. Even if I do a var dump it still shows up the same way.
The post method for the PHP echoing is as below -
<?php
if( $_POST["name"] || $_POST["age"] ) {
if (preg_match("/[^A-Za-z'-]/",$_POST['name'] )) {
die ("invalid name and name should be alpha");
}
echo "Welcome ". $_POST['name']. "<br />";
echo "You are ". $_POST['age']. " years old.";
exit();
}
?>
<html>
<body>
<form action = "<?php $_PHP_SELF ?>" method = "POST">
Name: <input type = "text" name = "name" />
Age: <input type = "text" name = "age" />
<input type = "submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
The output will be Name: Age: Submit (tab)
Can you share your code here.
My code for the form is
The only other code is my doctype and body and stuff like that but nothing in the head.
Here is the savePage.php
That's it because I was having other problems so I tested it doing the simplest thing and my code come out like this:
string(4) "Test"
