My PHP form is not working...

Question

I made a form in html and set the action to a php file(the one below) and every time I click submit instead of actually doing what I programmed it literally takes me to the php document where all the code is, like below which is my code:

<?php

$name = (int)$_POST["name"];
echo"$name";
$email = (int)$_POST["email"];
echo"$email";
$message = (int)$_POST["message"];
echo"$message";

?>

Answer 1

Oh it means it’s not executing it and you should check your apache installation. You may need to enable php. Depends on what you are using. You may need to install php separately.

Answer 2

It should take you to the page ...
