I have just started learning php. However I am having trouble with the code below. I know it automatically prints out You're not a member... But when I then enter "letmein" it still says I am not a member. Any guidance would be much appreciated
<html>
<head>
<title>A BASIC HTML FORM</title>
<?PHP
$username = $_POST['username'];
if ($username == "letmein") {
print ("Welcome back, friend!");
}
else {
print ("You're not a member of this site,goodbye");
}
?>
</head>
<body>
<FORM NAME ="form1" METHOD ="POST " ACTION = "basicForm.php">
<INPUT TYPE = "TEXT" VALUE ="username" Name="username">
<INPUT TYPE = "Submit" Name = "Submit1" VALUE = "Login">
</FORM>
</body>
</html>
You have an extra space in the METHOD ="POST " of your form.
Change it to METHOD="POST".
