I don't have a ton of php experience but I am trying to have math problem echoed in the same browswer screen upon submit. Problem is when I submit nothing appears it just looks like i refreshed the page. I've tried moving the php coding into a seperate .php file so the form can call it. the same thing happens though. Do I need to be connected to Wamp so php can work? I'm not calling mysql or anything.

Jump to PostThe PHP file must be in the root folder ("C:\Program Files\wamp\www\" maybe?) and WAMP (Apache server, to be exact) must be on. Then run it with "http://localhost/math_file.php" in your browser.

Jump to Postplease paste your code here :)
Jump to Postif you're using wamp server just enable display errors in php settings in order for you to be prompted with an error message, so as for you to determine the error.

Yes, I also agree with britoniah and flamer here. Hope posting $_POST can solve your problem immediately. Please try this and let us know what happened.

It si good to RTM,
that being said it is not recommended to use request as it will pick contents of $_POST, $_GET, $_COOKIE. So be explicit to avoid problems. So just use $_POST/GET
Post being recommended! See Manual

If you want to know if it is server issue or not try to make PHP file and access it on Url and in the PHP file put just the simple code below
<?php phpinfo();?>

It was wamp. I had deleted some of the files that were in there. I uninstalled and reinstalled the entire wamp program and php worked when i tested it in there. Thanks everybody for your help!!!
