using GET and POST request with PHP through apache - PHP-Editors

stevenjack · #1 (**permalink**) 2006-03-16, 06:06 AM

basically Iâ€™ve got MySQL, and PHP to function correctly with apache (I can draw information from tables, write information etc...) but when I try to do any sort of GET or POST form when I click submit, instead of parasing the information to the PHP page, it just brings up a download prompt for the script it should be parasing to? I've tried looking everywhere but can't seem to find an answer?

Thanks guys

<html>

<head>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Please enter approval Type</title>
</head>
<form action="status.php" method="post">
Please enter approval Type :<input name="s" type="text" size="1">
<body>

</body>

Please enter Car name:
<input name="c" type="text" size="20"><body></body><p align="center"><input type="submit"><body></p>
</form>

</p>
</form>
