this is my html file

<html> <body> <form action="welcome.php" method="post"> Name: <input type="text" name="fname" /> Age: <input type="text" name="age" /> <input type="submit" /> </form> </body> </html>

and this is my php welcome.php file

 <html> <body> Welcome <?php echo $_POST["fname"]; ?>!<br /> You are <?php echo $_POST["age"]; ?> years old. </body> </html>

After clicking the "Submit" button, the result was as

Welcome!
You are years old.

but it should be like

when changing IIS in the form: method = "post" to method = "POST" <- UPPERCASE should solve your problem.

Anyway, what about Apache? and the php version is just 5, flat five :) 5.3.5 on IIS for a beginner? it sounds like getting Everest for a night without gloves

This is a fairly standard simple code and looks correct. One thing you can pay attention to is how PHP is configured on your server. Alternatively, try using $ _REQUEST instead of $ _POST on the welcome.php page and see if this all does the same.

Try naming your form as well.

Looking at your code, it seems like this is a configuration issue.

Steps to solve this problem:

Firstly, this is the code that displays the page actually welcome.php

Secondly add the following to your php block

 var_dump($_POST);

Click "Submit" and if it is still displayed

 array ( )

if so do

 var_dump($_REQUEST);

and post the content to your post and show us.
