I have written a HTML and PHP code which should show a survey form and invite you to enter your email address and have a submit button for you to click. However, when I "run" the code, I get some gibberish which I wrote in my code, which I did not expect to appear on my survey form. The code that I have written is as follows:
session_start();
if (!empty($_POST['posted']) && !empty($_POST['email'])){
$folder = "surveys/" . strtolower($_POST['email']);
// send path information to the session
$_SESSION['folder'] = $folder;
if(!file_exists($folder)) {
// make the directory and then add the empty files
mkdir($folder, 0777, true);
}
header("Location: 08_6.php");
}
else { ?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Files and folders - Online Survey</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="white" text="black">
<h2>Survey Form</h2>
<p>Please enter your email address to start recording your comments</p>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="posted" value="1">
<p>Email address: <input type="text" name="email" size="45" /><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php }
What's happening is that I'm getting:
session_start(); if (!empty($_POST['posted']) && !empty($_POST['email'])){...
and whole bunch of other stuff appearing at the top of the webpage, which is certainly not what I want. Could one of you experts please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
