So I have been following this tutorial here
I have installed WAMP and the server is up and running just fine. (As the green light in the taskbar indicates).
In the www folder I have the following 2 files:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>First Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="postForm.php" method="post">
<TextArea
name="microBlog" id="microBlog" cols="30" rows=“10">
</TextArea>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
and
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$microBlog = $_POST['microBlog'];
echo $microBlog;
?>
</body>
</html>
However, when I run the html file and input "hello" into the field, clicking the submit button returns a blank screen.
Here is the html screen on open:
and on clicking submit the following is in the address bar:
file:///C:/wamp/www/postForm.php
Any ideas why the blank screen?
Does the PHP (postForm) file require HTML tags or can I get rid of them?
