Hello recently some of you gave me help with my php form.
Well I have altered it slightly using a book and it has shown me
how to incorporate the php into itself.

So the form should work without an external php page

Could someone tell me if this is correct, I have attached the webpage in .txt format.

Thank you.

<?php 
$Username = $_POST["Username"];
$Email = $_POST["Email"];
$ID = $_POST["ID"];
$Wing = $_POST["Wing"];
$Comment = $_POST["Comment"];
?>
<html> 
<head> 
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 6.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
	<title>Organizing the Form Elements</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../contact us/mainform.css" />

</head> 
<body>
<form method="POST" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF;?>">

<p class="legend" align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF">Account Details</font></p>
<fieldset id="personal">
Username:<input type="text" name="username" maxlength="12"/>
Email:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <input type="text" name="email" maxlength="50"/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
ID:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <input type="text" name="ID" maxlength="12" minlength="12"/>
Wing:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <input type="text" name="wing" maxlength="8"/>
</fieldset>




<p class="legend" align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF">Comment Details</font></p>
<fieldset id="personal">
<textarea name="comment" rows="5" cols="59">Please insert your comment here...</textarea>
</fieldset>

<p>

&nbsp;<input type="submit" value="                     " style="border: 1px solid #000000; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px; padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; background-image: url('submit.bmp')"/> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="reset" value="                       " style="background-image: url('Reset.bmp')"/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </form>

Very close. Remember, variables are case sensitive.
<input type="text" name="username" maxlength="12"/>
Then in the php you have:
$Username = $_POST["Username"];
Should be:
$Username = $_POST["username"];
The same goes for email, wing, and comment. Looks like your getting the hang of it though.

So when I change the case sensativity so that they are equal, it should work.

Taking into account that this form is itself the php as well.
