Your $result is falling out of scope:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['add'])) {  //scope begins here
  //php omitted for brevity

  //$result is declared within this scope
  $result = $first_value + $sec_value;

} // scope ends here - after this point, $result no longer exists!
?>
<!-- html omitted for brevity -->
<!-- This is OUTSIDE the scope where $result was declared - we can't get it any more! -->
<input type="text" maxlength="50" value="<?php echo $result ; ?>" Name='result' >

To solve this problem, first declare $result within the same scope as you intend to echo it:

<?php
$result = 0;

if(isset($_POST['add'])) {
  //php omitted for brevity

  //change $result's value
  $result = $first_value + $sec_value;
}
?>
<!-- html omitted for brevity -->
<input type="text" maxlength="50" value="<?php echo $result ; ?>" Name='result' >

if(isset($_POST['add'])){
    $first_value = $_POST['f_value'];
    $sec_value = $_POST['s_value'];
    $result = $first_value + $sec_value;  
}
else{
    $result= '';
}

Use isset here

<input type="text" maxlength="50" value="<?php if(isset($result)) { echo $result; } ?>" Name='result' >
