Re: Submit button not appearing on the screen

Hi There Your problem lies with the last php command...exit; PHP parses the code until it sees the exit command, and then exits...stop parsing...in other words, your button html code is not send to the client. Load your page, and do a view souce, you won't see your button. Remove the exit, and all should work fine... sannec27@eng.uab.edu wrote: > > Hi all, > > i am pretty new to PHP world, sorry if it is very dumb question.
