I've tried everything in my power to fix this but no way. Searched all of the internet and read all sorts of "form not submitting" questions.
I've checked that all input tags are closed.

I'm new to web. I've tried <button>..</buton>,<button>,<button /> and even <input /> but none submits the form.
I thought single quotes and double quotes could be used interchangeably for strings. I fixed this by using $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] instead of the single quotes version.
