RE: [PHP] PHP & html local testing

Andrew do you actually have a webserver setup locally? If you're just *loading* the local file into your browser then it wouldn't work. You need to access the file *through* a webserver. hth - Jason Wong Digital View Ltd 2201 Nanyang Plaza 57 Hung To Road Kwun Tong HONG KONG Tel: +852-2861-3615 Fax: +852-2520-2987 www.digitalview.com -----Original Message----- From: Andrew V.

This is a comment line // the comment must be in the PHP block echo "thanks for the time <br>"; echo "X: $x <br>"; echo "Y: $y <br>"; ?> </body> </html> When on the form and php file are on the remote server, it returns exactly what you expect it to, thanks for the time and then the values of X and Y but when I load this form into my borwse using the local copy of the form, the submit button does nothing.
