Answer 1

I think, you try to run this code in SoloLearn playground.
Your code is valid, if it in the foo.php file.
Unfortunatly, in SL playground all runs php files named source.php in the some temporary directory. So you can not see a valid work of your code in SL playground.

Answer 2

your code is valid and will run on real server

Answer 3

As I know there is one method to get input in SoloLearn's playground php code - get it from web

Answer 4

in SoloLearn playground your php code runs one time and form data cannot be received.
incert a reference to your code in a comment and I'll try to help more useful

Answer 5

David Woods have you designated yoursite.com/?foo.php or something like that to establish not only where to send but to retrieve the foo.php file

I was just thinking as the form itself is good but possibly not connecting to a designated location.
By the way don't forget to robot.txt noindex the foo.php

Answer 6

You can test it on local server(just install appache with php) or you can emulate users enter, by adding something like this:
<?php
$_REQUEST["username"] = ($_POST["username"]="testuser");
$_REQUEST["email"] = ($_POST["email"]="[e-mail]");

Answer 7

David Woods What do you mean open foo.php? The contents of the POST request isn't going to be in the file. The foo.php simply processes the information.

Answer 8

I Think I Don't hijack other people's question. Use the search function instead.
