PHP Form/Post Output

Question

The HTML page

<form action="test2.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>

and the test2.php

<?php
$firstname = $_POST['name'];
print("Name $firstname");
?>

and it shows error

Notice: Undefined index: firstname in test2.php on line 7

This is a problem when i run it on my PHPstorm. PHP i am using is v7.1.3

I don't know whats wrong.

INSERTING PICS

This was using XAMPP and still same results

Wrap it in an isset(), it will only be set after pressing submit — Mihai, Mar 18 '17 at 09:27
make sure **name** input fild is properly submitted to **welcome.php** page. Try `print_r($_POST);` on welcome.php — Tushar Niras, Mar 18 '17 at 09:29
>Notice: Undefined index: firstname in C:\Users\rabhi\PhpstormProjects\test2\test2.php on line 7 Array ( ) @TusharNiras Now this is the output after using print_r($_POST) — ABHINAV RANA, Mar 18 '17 at 09:33
Still didn't work in XAMPP. THIS IS FRUSTRATING. If this step doesn't work i CANNOT progress. Is there any other step that i missed. — ABHINAV RANA, Mar 21 '17 at 04:40

Check your variable defined or not in following method

if (isset($_POST['name']) && !empty($_POST['name'])) {
    $firstname = $_POST['name'];
   echo "Name ".$firstname;    
}

No errors. But there is no output either. :( I can't understand what the problem is. – ABHINAV RANA Mar 18 '17 at 10:30
