A Simple Form: Php & Html

I-m writing a simple form in HTML that submits the user name and age, then opens a .php page and prints them.

This is the code:

main.html

<form action="Test.php" method="post">
    Name: <input type="text" name="fname" />
    Age: <input type="text" name="age" />
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

Test.php

Welcome <?php echo $_POST["fname"]; ?>!<br />
You are <?php echo $_POST["age"]; ?> years old.

Тhe problem is, when I open the main.html, enter some values and press Submit, it doesnt show me the Test.php page, instead it downloads it.

Аny suggestions?

Thanks.

Restart Apache or whatever your webserver may be.

sudo service apache2 restart in Ubuntu, or use the XAMPP control panel.

Then try again.

Check your server is running. Check you request page properly (http://localhost/main.html or over your virtual host)

XAMPP should be configure server properly. Most common things for php work in httpd.conf are:

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so # or necessary .dll for windows
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Restart apache and try again. Try to directly request Test.php, you should see some warnings if all is ok.
