I've just started to code PHP, I have made a form with a submit button on my HTML page:

<form action="thing.php" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
                Name:<br>
            <input type="text" name="name"><br>
                E-mail:<br>
            <input type="text" name="mail"><br>
                Comment:<br>
            <input type="text" name="comment" size="50"><br><br>
            <input type="submit" value="Send">
            <input type="reset" value="Reset">
</form>

and made a PHP page aswell:

<html>

<head>
    <title>Success</title>
</head>

<body>

<?php 
  echo "Hello World";
 ?>



</body>

</html>

when I click the submit button on the HTML page it shows nothing.

Please help!!

Is the php file named: "thing.php" ? And where is it stored on the webserver? – DZDomi Dec 08 '16 at 19:35
Yes, it is called "thing.php". It is stored in the same file as the HTML file – Monty Collins Dec 08 '16 at 19:38

`enctype="text/plain"` Look up the correct `enctype` for form data submission. Google is your buddy! – RiggsFolly Dec 08 '16 at 19:39
If you open "thing.php" from the address bar in your browser, do you see "Hello World" ? – Jose Manuel Abarca Rodríguez Dec 08 '16 at 19:39
Nope, just nothing – Monty Collins Dec 08 '16 at 19:41

Do you have a web server installed? – RiggsFolly Dec 08 '16 at 19:44

Download and install WAMP, LAMP or MAMP. – Jose Manuel Abarca Rodríguez Dec 08 '16 at 19:46
PHP code will not run unless you have a web server installed with PHP correctly configured. If you are running these files by clicking in explorer then even if ou have a webserver installed it will not run via the web server. – RiggsFolly Dec 08 '16 at 19:49
