Note Submitter: lost ---- I need help i recently bought html,xhtml and css for dummies. I am trying to create a form using the post method, i used the example shown on this sites tutorial after days of headbanging trying to create my own. The code i used was <form action="action.php" method="post"> <p>Your name: <input type="text" name="name" /></p> <p>Your age: <input type="text" name="age" /></p> <p><input type="submit" /></p> </form> and Hi <?php echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']); ?>. You are <?php echo (int)$_POST['age']; ?> years old. And all i am getting back is Hi . You are years old. when i submit. Help?????
