I am using this code to input data from an HTML form to PHP URL page using variable but it's showing this error when running on an Apache server localhost:
; print $basicText; print ""; ?>
This the HTML code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Font Choices</title>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<h1>Font Choices</h1>
<h3>Demonstrates how to read HTML form elements</h3>
<form method = "post"
action = "borderMaker.php">
<h3>Text to modify</h3>
<textarea name = "basicText"
rows = "10"
cols = "40">
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this
continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the
proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a
great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so
conceived and so dedicated can long endure.
</textarea>
<table border = 2>
<tr>
<td><h3>Border style</h3></td>
<td colspan = 2><h3>Border Size</h3></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<select name = borderStyle>
<option value = "ridge">ridge</option>
<option value =
"groove">groove</option>
<option value = "double">double</option>
<option value = "inset">inset</option>
<option value = "outset">outset</option>
</select>
</td>
<td>
<select size = 5

<option value = "1">1</option>
<option value = "2">2</option>
<option value = "3">3</option>
<option value = "5">5</option>
<option value = "10">10</option>
</select>

<input type = "radio"

</td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type = "submit"

</form>
</center>
</body>
</html>
And this code of PHP page:
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Output</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Your Output</h1>
<center>
<?
$theStyle = <<<HERE
"border-width:$borderSize,$sizeType;
border-style:$borderStyle;
border-color:green"
HERE;
print "<div style = $theStyle>";
print '$basicText';
print "</span>";
?>
</div>
</center>
</body>
</html>
