I have been trying to install Apache 2.2 and php on my computer for some time now.have installed Apache and PHP on three seperate occasions on two different XP machines.All checks that I have been told to run show each installation to be a success. Yet when I go to the PHP Manual section entitled "A Simple Tutorial" and follow the links to "Dealing With Forms". I copy and paste the code for the form and form handler shown here. Both pieces of code work as would be expected. The form presents in Firefox 3 and MS Internet Explorer 6 as a normal HTML form with two fields of entry. The PHP form handling code when called from the browser appears as any other php program.So now I call the form back up enter my name and age , hit the submit querry button and the browser window comes up ;You are years old,?> When I read the address bar in the Firefox 3 browser window the path shows action.php which is the location of the proper handling code but it was not executed properly.. I'm asking for help because I have now tried to install Apache and PHP on three occasions on two different XP machines and all installations on both machines fails to handle forms properly.
