code in browser

Hello sir,

I am getting part of the php code in my browser, may I know why is this.

Many thanks to you.

You have a problem in putting your php file(form.php) in the www directory


keep it in C:\wamp\www\form.php

always put your php file uder www folder beacause c:\wamp\www is the path for localhost so that you can access your page by typing in browser http://localhost/form.php

here is the code:

<?php

echo $_POST['name'];
echo $_POST['age'];
echo $_POST['occupation'];

if ($_POST['submit'])
{

$name = $_POST['name'];
$age = $_POST['age'];
$occupation = $_POST['occupation'];

$errorstring = "";

if (!$name)
$errorstring = $errorstring.'Name<br>';

if (!$age)
$errorstring = $errorstring.'Age<br>';

if (!$occupation)
$errorstring = $errorstring.'Occupation<br>';

if ($errorstring = "")

echo 'Please fill out the following fields:<br>'. $errorstring;

else
{
die("success!");
}

}

?>

and this I see in the browser:


Notice: Undefined index: name in C:\wamp\www\form.php on line 41

Notice: Undefined index: age in C:\wamp\www\form.php on line 42

Notice: Undefined index: occupation in C:\wamp\www\form.php on line 43

Notice: Undefined index: submit in C:\wamp\www\form.php on line 45

May I please know what is the problem here?

It seems that you are running your php file without help of apache server.

run your code in the directory http://localhost/filename.php or http://127.0.0.1/filename.php and also make sure that server is running or not.

Because PHP is a server side scripting language and it is parsed at server site. without server a php file is just like a text file.

Hope you have got more idea about this issue.

Get back if facing the same problem again
