Hello everybody
I am a student and I am starting to learn the PHP. A strange thing is happeing when i try to execute any of the scripts.
For example I have these two snippets of code :
1: orderform.html
<html>
<head><title>Bob's Auto Parts</title></head>
<body>
<form action="processorder.php" method="post">
<table border="0">
<tr bgcolor="#cccccc">
<td width="150">Item</td>
<td width="15">Quantity</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Tires</td>
<td align="center"><input type="text" name="tireqty" size="3"
maxlength="3" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Oil</td>
<td align="center"><input type="text" name="oilqty" size="3"
maxlength="3" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Spark Plugs</td>
<td align="center"><input type="text" name="sparkqty" size="3"
maxlength="3" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>How did you find Bob's?</td>
<td><select name="find">
<option value = "a">I'm a regular customer</option>
<option value = "b">TV advertising</option>
<option value = "c">Phone directory</option>
<option value = "d">Word of mouth</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" value="Submit Order" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
2: processorder.php
<html>
<head>
<title>Bob's Auto Parts - Order Results</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Bob's Auto Parts</h1>
<h2>Order Results</h2>
<?php
echo '<p>Order processed at ';
echo date('H:i, jS F');
echo '</p>';
echo '<p>Your order is as follows: </p>';
echo $tireqty.' tires<br />';
echo $oilqty.' bottles of oil<br />';
echo $sparkqty.' spark plugs<br />';
$totalqty = 0;
$totalamount = 0.00;
$totalqty = 0;
$totalqty = $tireqty + $oilqty + $sparkqty;
echo 'Items ordered: '.$totalqty.'<br />';
$totalamount = 0.00;
define('TIREPRICE', 100);
define('OILPRICE', 10);
define('SPARKPRICE', 4);
$totalamount = $tireqty * TIREPRICE
+ $oilqty * OILPRICE
+ $sparkqty * SPARKPRICE;
echo 'Subtotal: $'.number_format($totalamount,2).'<br />';
$taxrate = 0.10; // local sales tax is 10%
$totalamount = $totalamount * (1 + $taxrate);
echo 'Total including tax: $'.number_format($totalamount,2).'<br />';
?>
</body>
</html>
I don't know what is wrong precisly, but when i open orderform.html in the browser and click the button submit order, all i can see in the new rendered page is the whole script as i wrote above, instead of seeing the results. The same happens in all the other scripts. So I can not do anything.
Could you please tell me where the problem is if any of you knows?
I would appriciate it so much.
Thank you
