OmniHTTPd v2.10 and PHP form

by **ashz** » Tue Nov 05, 2002 11:33 pm

Hi,

I am trying to crate a local server on my personal computer and to run a PHP script in it.

I downloaded OmniHTTPd v2.10 for windows and installed it.

The scripts aret:

1MAIN.HTML

<html>
<head>
<title>1</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="C:\httpd\HtDocs\1.php" method="GET">
<input type="text" name="user">
<input type="submit" value="hit it!">
</form>
</body>
</html>

1.PHP

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#33ffff" text="#000110" link="#0000ee" alink="#0000ee" vlink="#551a8b">
<?php
print $user ;
?>
</body>
</html>

When I run the 1main.html in netscape 7 I do not get and reponde and the screen do not change.
In IE6 the screen change to the light blue but do not print the user (tried print_r, echo) and put in the address windows the following file:///C:/httpd/HtDocs/1.php?user=aaa.
aaa is the input.

Can any one tell me how can I print the input data from HTML form.

Thx.

Set the form action to the relative path of the script via URL, not the hard linked path on the server, it won't work like that (it only works in your case because you're using the server as a client).

Please explain how to do "script via URL"

post your page to an url, not a file on your hard disk:
so, not like this:

Code: Select all: <form action="C:\httpd\HtDocs\1.php" method="GET">

but like this:

Code: Select all: <form action="1.php" method="GET">

or wherever the file is on the server

I am using it as a local server.

Change the line to local server (<form action="http://localhost/1.php" method="GET">) but now I get the following error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in C:\httpd\HTDOCS\1.php on line 6

Change print $user to print $_GET['user'];
