In this project I'm sending my html form to PHP. I use Xamp for the PHP side of things but I'm having issues with my PHP displaying after receiving information from the form. I've used the validator and the problem has to deal with <?PHP in my code. I've heard that you are suppose to include <?PHP outside of the but I'm not entirely sure. Not to mention, if you guys want me to include my html form to see if it helps I can do it anytime. Any veteran advice is very much appreciated. Thanks for the help!
