Hi, I am new to PHP and had just written a simple php script to get things started. I have the following code: <html> <body> <?php if($submit1) { echo "hello $vname"; } else { ?> <form action="thispage.php" method=post> <table> <tr><td>Input yourname</td><td><input type=text name=vname></td></tr> <tr><td colspan=2><input type=submit name=submit1></td></tr> </table> </form> <?php } ?> </body> </html> So this page is suppose to display a input box and a submit button and once you enter ur name and press the button, it should show Hello [ur name] and the input box at the bottom of it and the button below and the process continue. I tried running it and inputted some text and pressed the button, and the Hello [ur name] didn't show up, it just display an input box and the submit button. Can someone please help me?
