Forms

Hello members,

I did not expect to have any issues at this stage, but I am.
I am on chapter 4, page 141-142.

Once I create "form2.html" and press the "submit" button my script is not finding the "formprocess2.php" I get the "the page cannot be found"

Both files are in the same folder.
I doublechecked that I have the correct spelling in "forms2.html" and it is correct.

Any hints/suggestions that you can give me??
THANK YOU!

Heyy whats up buddy? Your code is pretty flawless you only had one error... I will show you below...

**************FORM2.HTML************

<html>
<head>
<title> Greetings Earthling</title>
<style type ="text/css">
TD{color:#353535;font-family:verdana}
TH{color:#FFFFFF;font-family:verdana;background-color:#336699}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form action ="formprocess2.php method="post">
<table border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3"

**** The error is <form action = "formprocesss2.php you forgot to complete that part with an ending " it should be
<form action = "formprocess2.php" <--- without the ending quote your other code underneath isn't really alive... it doesn't know whats going on until after you close that. Kind of like writing a sentence after you put the period . You continue on another sentence etc etc etc.. but if you didn't put a period when you should the whole thing just runs on.. does that make sense hahah sorry... bottom line..just a minor syntax error not a big deal... Take Care!! ***
