<body>
<?php

Here is the correct version:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
<?php

if(isset($name) && isset($address) && isset($comments)){
$name=$_POST['name'];
$address=$_POST['address'];
$comments=$_POST['comments'];
print "<table width=\"100%\" height=\"30%\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">
<tr>
<td>
Name: ".$name."<br>
Email: ".$address."<br>
Comments: ".$comments."<br>
</td>
</tr>
</table>" or die(php_error());
}else{

print "<table width=\"100%\" height=\"30%\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">
<tr>
<td>
Please fill out the form.\n
</td>
</tr>
</table>";

}
?>

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
<p>
Name:&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="text" name="name">
</p>
<p>
E-Mail:&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="text" name="address">
</p>
<p>
Comments:&nbsp;&nbsp;<textarea cols="20" rows="10" name="comments"></text>
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

I didn't remember all the errors, there were lots of, but the main was

Name: $_GET['name']<br>
Email: $_GET['address']<br>
Comments: $_GET['comments']<br>


And one extra closing brace "}"

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the help, and it makes sense, but the solution was:
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
<?php

if(!empty($_POST['name']) && !empty($_POST['address']) && !empty($_POST['comments'])){
$name=$_POST['name'];
$address=$_POST['address'];
$comments=$_POST['comments'];
print "<table width=\"100%\" height=\"30%\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">
<tr>
<td>
Name: $name<br>
Email: $address<br>
Comments: $comments<br>
</td>
</tr>
</table>" or die(php_error());
}else{

print "<table width=\"100%\" height=\"30%\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">
<tr>
<td>
Please fill out the form.\n
</td>
</tr>
</table>";

}
?>

<form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
<p>
Name:&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="text" name="name">
</p>
<p>
E-Mail:&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="text" name="address">
</p>
<p>
Comments:&nbsp;&nbsp;<textarea cols="20" rows="10" name="comments"></textarea></text>
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Thanks again :)

Practically the same... Cool that you worked it out.

Well, seeing as how no one else is really posting new threads, can you explain \n and \r? I hear they are supposed to be new lines and carriage returns, but I only get spaces in the echo()'d output.

can you explain \n and \r?

True, they are just new lines and carriage returns. But when you echo() them, take care to echo() "<pre>" (preformatted text) tag before, because otherwise browsers will just ignore them or consider like spaces.

Then, usually, we only use them in pair: "\r\n", most of *nix'es accept just "\n" as well, but to conform to the RFCs you should use only pairs.

This post is over a year old so its safe to assume that ZYV's fixes worked out for him, no need to post and bring it back to the top.

edit just saw other posts - kitty are you even checking the date on the posts you and replying to? You are posting in posts a year after the last response....
