php not responding to form submission

Question

The page simply gets reloaded when I submit the form.Even when I change the PHP file for action the result is the same.No output telling me the status of how my code ran. The PHP i have shared is login.php

<?php
    include 'connect.php';
    if(isset($_POST['submit']))
    {
        $n=$_POST['name'];
        $p=$_POST['pass'];
        $q="SELECT NAME FROM user
            WHERE name='$n' and password='$p';";
        $res=$conn->query($q);
        echo "k";
        echo "<script>window.alert('here')</script>";
        if($res->num_rows == 1)
        {
            session_start();
            $_SESSION['name']=$n;
            $_SESSION['pass']=$p;
            echo "<a href='cust.php'>";
        }
        else
        {
            echo "<script>document.getElementById('resp').innerHTML='<i>please enter valid name and password</i><br></script>'";
        }
    }
?>
<html>
<head>
    <title>title</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <meta name="description" content="" />
    <meta name="keywords" content="" />
    <meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />
    <!--<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css" />-->
</head>

<body>
    <form method="post" action="login.php" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
        <!--<b>First Day of stay</b><input type="date" name="start"><br><br>
        <b>Last Day of stay</b><input type="date" name="start"><br><br>-->
        <input type="text" id="name" placeholder="Your name"><br><br>
        <input type="password" id="pass" placeholder="password"><br><br>
        <input type="submit" text="login">
        <span id="resp">
        </span>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

then storing passwords in plain text and doing this... `$_SESSION['pass']=$p;` scary. — Funk Forty Niner, Oct 25 '15 at 15:02
nice stealth edit and without marking it as an edit. and using an answer below. — Funk Forty Niner, Oct 25 '15 at 15:04
I performed a rollback to your original post. Please do NOT change your question like that. — Funk Forty Niner, Oct 25 '15 at 15:08
I have edited please try the code again it doesn't seem to be working — Sidwa, Oct 25 '15 at 15:10
your query failed and you need to find out why. http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.error.php and apply it to your query. — Funk Forty Niner, Oct 25 '15 at 15:11
what is acceptable is to post a comment under an answer given stating that what they posted did not solve the problem. You can also edit your question BUT not overwriting your original post and adding to your question under the original post, the code that you did modify and writing that it is an EDIT in bold. Again, check for errors for your query. The link I gave you above shows you how to check for that. — Funk Forty Niner, Oct 25 '15 at 15:17

Just a little correction:

 <input type="text" id="name" name="name" placeholder="Your name"><br><br>
 <input type="password" id="pass" name="pass" placeholder="password"><br><br>
 <input type="submit" name="submit" text="login">
