Hi, i created such form.html form:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
  <head>
    <title></title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  </head>
<body>

<form action="welcome.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="fname" />
Age: <input type="text" name="age" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

</body>
</html>
then i created such welcome.php file:
<html>
<body>

Welcome <?php echo $_POST["fname"]; ?>!<br />
You are <?php echo $_POST["age"]; ?> years olddd2.

</body>
</html>
When i fill the fields of form and press submit i get such output:
Welcome !
You are years olddd2.


Could anyone help me to find out why ?

Try to view the source code of the page, and allow the form to resubmit if it asks. Does the source code contain the PHP portion of your code as well? Are you running this script through a local server such as with WAMP? If not PHP scripts cannot be processed with the browser alone.

Your code appears to be correct, the only issue I can think of is that you are not running the scripts under http://localhost/

Code looks right, I would check to make sure you're using the same IP you define in PHP.ini and that your browser isn't "resetting" the POST data

Same IP? I am not sure there is anything network wise that can be defined in there. It would be handled by apache.

I don't believe there is either, this problem did sound more server side, but I'll check my file to make sure. Though, I bet this is a content handling problem with apache.

After looking through, you are correct, the only server address defined is for SMTP, so this is likely a problem with apache / iis

Use $_REQUEST["fname"] instead of $_POST["fname"] and so on. See what happens.
sudo rm -rf /

This would be a direct array merge of most of the input superglobals, and would be contradictory to method="post" in the form (it likely is something else completely)

Right, but for beginners' purposes I would imagine it'd work just fine.
