Issue
This is an example of: When php cant work in some websites.
I was trying to make a Search_Query but it doesn’t work. Even inspect element doesn’t work. They made the code like:
<!--<?php echo "hello" ?>-->
i do not know why but it happens.
here’s my files:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Home - Yantoxsoft</title>
<!-- Load external CSS styles -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
<!-- Load website icon -->
<link rel='shortcut icon' href='icon.jpeg'>
</head>
<body>
<form action='search.html'>
<label for='search_query'>
Search:<input name='search_query'><input type="submit">
</label>
</form>
<!-- Load external JavaScript -->
<script src="scripts.js"></script>
</body>
</html><form action='search.html' method='POST'>
<label for='search_query'>
<input name='search_query'>
</label>
</form>
<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
// collect value of input field
$search = $_POST['search_query'];
if (empty($search)) {
echo "No Results for: " + $search;
} else {
echo "results for:" + $search;
}
}
?>and do not answer with .php files because they are not supported :/
Because they only make .css, .js, and .html files and image or gif files. Why not python, lua, mp4, or php? Who knows.
Solution
Please save PHP file with .php extension and use html tag inside as: echo "<h1>Hello Dev!</h1>";
i.e after saving your code in .php format
<?php
echo "<form action='search.html' method='POST'>
<label for='search_query'>
<input name='search_query'>
</label>
</form>";
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
// collect value of input field
$search = $_POST['search_query'];
if (empty($search)) {
echo "No Results for: " + $search;
} else {
echo "results for:" + $search;
}
}
?>
