I have checked on previous questions of people who have a similar issue. I know that both my .html and .php file are in the same directory and in htdocs of xampp. When I click submit oh my html file it changes to the php file but it's read only text or something. I'm running Apache on xampp.
I feel like my code is ok but I just started php this week. My professor is not helping really. I'm sorry this is a assignment related question but if I could get it to work I know I can fix the rest of it.
It's just not updating and showing me the update. I can enter data into my form and hit submit but I get nothing on the php file and the html file switches to php but it's just text. I've tried quite a lot and nothing is working. Most likely I'm missing some code or something simple though.
Thanks so much to anyone who can help as I'm at a standstill still trying to figure this out.
