I'm guessing that this line from your example is incomplete (and it isn't causing your error):

 

[Lewicide]

Indeed, I have XAMPP on my computer. I go to the location for the form and then go to the location for the the form response and still nothing. Even if the response is in my tabs and after I do my form nothing is displayed in the response part which is what I want.

[falkencreative]

Where are you saving the PHP files?

[Lewicide]

C:\xampp\htdocs\xampp

 

I can get on the actual page, but after submitting the form I can't see the name that has been input.

[falkencreative]

Are you sure that the server is on? Can you run other PHP code correctly? Other PHP code that uses GET or POST? As I said, your code example worked just fine for me.

 

And, according to your path, you are trying to access this file (with the server on) using http://localhost/xampp/form.php?

[Lewicide]

Yes that is the site I go to for the form. The form appears and I can fill it in and submit it and whatnot. But when I go: http://localhost/xampp/form_response.php?

What I've put into my form is not shown there. Is it shown for you? (only the name of course as that's all I'm asking for).

[falkencreative]

The code itself is fine -- it works fine for me. As I said above, can you run other PHP code correctly? Other PHP code that uses GET or POST?

 

For example, what happens when you view a file in localhost that has this contents:

 

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

[falkencreative]

A clarification... The only time I get a blank screen for the form_response file is if:

 

-- I haven't visited form.php first and entered information/hit submit

-- If I try to access the file directly in c:\xampp\etc rather than through localhost

-- if the server isn't turned on (and I try to access the file directly, since obviously localhost won't work)

-- If the file ends in .html rather than .php

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

 

That shows the contents table showing the php info.

 

So it is just the code for me not working. :S

Dunno. It sounds like you are doing the right things. The code itself looks fine and runs fine on my machine. You may try reinstalling XAMPP, or removing it and installing WAMP (in general I have found that people seem to have less trouble with WAMP.)

[Lewicide]

Will do then.

Will post results.

Wait sorry, didn't see the language change at the side.

I don't really want to have to watch another video on WAMP. Where do you put the folders to view them from localhost?

[falkencreative]

This should get you started: http://www.wampserver.com/en/presentation.php

 

"When you install WampServer, a "www" directory is created (generally c:\wamp\www). Create a directory inside for your project and put your PHP files in it. "

I'll watch a tut on what to do later as I'm having trouble setting it up right now. But the temptation of watching South Park is too strong.
