Form does not send data

Question

I am trying to make the data typed by the user appear on another page when he clicks the button only the page is updated but does not contain the information typed.

HTML file

 <form action="php/dados.php" method="post">

        <input type="text" id="cNome" name="tNome" size="20" maxlength="20" placeholder="       Digite Seu Nome"/>
     <input type="submit" value="Enviar"/>
    <input type="reset" value="Cancelar"/>
  </form>

PHP file

<?php

    $nome = $_POST["tNome"];
    echo "Obrigado $nome";
?>

I’ve looked over and over but I can’t find the error,?

Answer 1

You must be using or protocol file:/// instead of http:// (for example accessed file:///c:/Users/Lone/Documents/projeto/form.php instead of http://localhost/form.php) or you must be using Apache without PHP.

As I explained here /a/62797/3635, if it is Windows install or Xampp or Wamp or easyphp

If you have already installed it is because you may be accessing something like this from the browser file:///c:/wamp/www/form.php, see if the URL in the browser "like" with this:

This won’t work, the file protocol is to run local files, Apache is a server, even if local and you need to run through it.

After installing Xampp, Lamp (linux), Wamp, Mamp (Mac OSX), you should copy your files to the following "possible" folders (these folders are for example, but the path should be similar):

• Windows and Wamp: c:/wamp/www
• Windows and Xampp: c:/xampp/htdocs
• Linux and Lamp/Xampp: /otp/lamp/htdocs
• Linux installed via repository: /var/www

Of course it is possible to point out other folders, but this is another story.
