simple webform PHP script - it doesn't work

I would like the Php script print to the screen all the values it gets from the html page.

This is the HTML code:

  <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1255">
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
   <div>
    <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="rect.php" method="post">
        <label>Name:</label><input type="text" name="name"><br />
        <label>Family Name:</label><input type="text" name="family"><br />
        <label>Age:</label><input type="text" name="age"><br />
        <input type="button" value="Print">
    </form>
   </div>
</body>
</html>

//And this is the PHP code:

    <?php 
$name = $_REQUEST['name'];
$family_name = $_REQUEST['family'];
$age = $_REQUEST['age'];

print $name.$family_name.$age;
?>

You don't need the enctype if you're just sending text to the PHP form.

Your button must be type="submit"

and you should use $_POST since clearly you used it for the form.

First and foremost: Use $_POST. Using $_REQUEST is bad practice.

<?php 
   $name = $_POST['name'];
   $family_name = $_POST['family'];
   $age = $_POST['age'];
   print $name.$family_name.$age;
?>

And your button doesn't submit. Make it this: 

<input type="submit" value="Print">

change

<input type="button" value="Print">

to

<input type="submit" value="Print">

The $_REQUEST should work, your button however is a useless one.

    <input type="button" value="Print">

should be

    <input type="submit" value="Print">

And that should do the trick :)
