    <p>New to PHP and web development in general. I am trying to get information from an HTML form to appear in a table on another web page after clicking submit. So I installed Apache and then PHP on my local PC and expected to be able to test a PHP script locally however it does not return the information I was expecting. The following is the code for the form:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form method="post" action="showform.php"&gt; Please fill out the following form if you would like to be contacted: &lt;br/&gt; Name:&lt;input type="text" name="name" /&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Company: &lt;input type="text" name="company"/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Phone: &lt;input type="text" name="phone" /&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Email: &lt;input type="text" name="email" /&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>The following is the code for the php script:</p> <pre><code>&lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;Field Name&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Value(s)&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;?php if (empty($_POST)) { print "&lt;p&gt;No data was submitted.&lt;/p&gt;"; } else { foreach ($_POST as $key =&gt; $value) { if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) $value=stripslashes($value); if ($key=='extras') { if (is_array($_POST['extras']) ){ print "&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;$key&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;"; foreach ($_POST['extras'] as $value) { print "&lt;i&gt;$value&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"; } print "&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;"; } else { print "&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;$key&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;i&gt;$value&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;\n"; } } else { print "&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;$key&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;i&gt;$value&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;\n"; } } } ?&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>I know it works when used on the internet but how come it doesn't work locally. I have checked that apache and php are installed correctly. What could be the issue? The current result is a table with $key and $value in the places where the correct values should be, in other words in the table cells. Thanks for your help.</p> <p>UPDATE: Now working though WAMPSERVER- thanks to all who helped!</p>

    1. COIs PHP being processed at all, or is your script not working as you expect it to? Try creating a PHP file with the contents: <?PHP phpinfo(); ?>

    2. CO<?PHP phpinfo(); ?> does result in a page of information about php setup being returned. The problem is getting the values from the form into the table on the separate web page when being tested locally.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
