I just installed AppServ 8.6 I cannot get the program to run. I am certain I have all the brackets, etc. but all it does is regurgitates the code put into it. What am I missing? This program should post upon itself from the post method after executing a Javascript Program "..."

PHP

<?php
	$mo = filter_input(INPUT_POST, "mo");
	$dy = filter_input(INPUT_POST, "dy");
	$yr = filter_input(INPUT_POST, "yr");
	$hr = filter_input(INPUT_POST, "hr");
	$mn = filter_input(INPUT_POST, "mn");
	$sc = filter_input(INPUT_POST, "sc");
		
	session_start();
		$_SESSION['mo'] = $mo;
		$_SESSION['dy'] = $dy;
		$_SESSION['yr'] = $yr;
		$_SESSION['hr'] = $hr;
		$_SESSION['mn'] = $mn;
		$_SESSION['sc'] = $sc;
		$_SESSION['count'] = $count;
	session_write_close();	
?>

          </tr</table></center>
    </form>

There are couple of things

1. You need to comment out $_SESSION['count'] = $count; because $count variable is no way to be found
2. move the session_start(); to the top
3. wrap the code with if (isset($_POST['validate'])) { so that the session variable will not be overwritten on page load
4. maybe you didn't post complete code, there is no submit button on the form.

Here how the code should look like.

PHP

<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_POST['validate'])) {
	$mo = filter_input(INPUT_POST, "mo");
	$dy = filter_input(INPUT_POST, "dy");
	$yr = filter_input(INPUT_POST, "yr");
	$hr = filter_input(INPUT_POST, "hr");
	$mn = filter_input(INPUT_POST, "mn");
	$sc = filter_input(INPUT_POST, "sc");
		
	//session_start();
		$_SESSION['mo'] = $mo;
		$_SESSION['dy'] = $dy;
		$_SESSION['yr'] = $yr;
		$_SESSION['hr'] = $hr;
		$_SESSION['mn'] = $mn;
		$_SESSION['sc'] = $sc;
		//$_SESSION['count'] = $count;
	session_write_close();	
}
?>
