PHP form displaying a white screen?
Question
When I try and test my html form, it displays a white screen. Here's my code.
index.html
<form name="form1" method="post" action="test.php">
<textarea name="data" cols="100" rows="10">
Facebook:
Twitter:
Instagram:
Website:
Comments:
---------------------------------------------
</textarea>
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Save">
</form>
test.php
<html>
<?php
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 'On'); //On or Off
$saving = $_REQUEST['saving'];
if ($saving == 1){
$data = $_POST['data'];
$file = "data.txt";
$fp = fopen($file, "a") or die("Couldn't open $file for writing!");
fwrite($fp, $data) or die("Couldn't write values to file!");
fclose($fp);
echo "Saved to $file successfully!";
}
?>
</html>
I can 'view source' on the page, but I just get the code above in the php file. The title of the page is displaying the test.php page. Should it be doing this? PHP newbie. Thanks in advance.

I don't think you are getting into the if code
$saving = $_REQUEST['saving'];
if ($saving == 1) {
$data = $_POST['data'];
$file = "data.txt";
$fp = fopen($file, "a") or die("Couldn't open $file for writing!");
fwrite($fp, $data) or die("Couldn't write values to file!");
fclose($fp);
echo "Saved to $file successfully!";
} else {
echo 'Nope!';
}
Try adding this ELSE and see if you see 'Nope'.
For starters, what is $_REQUEST['saving']? It isn't an input on the form so it is probably a nothing.
Do this instead:
if ($_POST) {
$data = $_POST['data'];
$file = "data.txt";
$fp = fopen($file, "a") or die("Couldn't open $file for writing!");
fwrite($fp, $data) or die("Couldn't write values to file!");
fclose($fp);
echo "Saved to $file successfully!";
} else {
echo 'Nope!';
}

Give this a try, tested. (no white screen)
Use both bodies of code as written.
I added a condition in case someone tries to access test.php directly.
HTML form
<form name="form1" method="post" action="test.php">
<textarea name="data" cols="100" rows="10">
Facebook:
Twitter:
Instagram:
Website:
Comments:
---------------------------------------------
</textarea>
<br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Save">
</form>
PHP hander (test.php)
<html>
<?php
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 'On'); //On or Off
if(!isset($_REQUEST['data'])) {
echo "You cannot do that from here.";
exit;
}
else {
$data = $_REQUEST['data'];
}
if(isset($_REQUEST['submit'])) {
$file = "data.txt";
chmod($file, 0777);
// chmod($file, 0644); // or use 644 which is safer
$fp = fopen($file, "a") or die("Couldn't open $file for writing!");
fwrite($fp, $data) or die("Couldn't write values to file!");
fclose($fp);
echo "Saved to $file successfully!";
}
else {
echo "Submit not set.";
}
?>
</html>

Change your html:
<input type="submit" value="Save" name="saving"/>
Also change the php where you are accepting the param:
$saving = $_REQUEST['saving'];
if ($saving) { // it is enough to just check if there is a value, the actual value is "Save"
...
}
