if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST') doesn't seem to work

I got this code, in login.php:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>login.php</title>
<charset="utf8" />

<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST')
{
    echo "It works!";
}
?>
</head>

<body>
<h1>Log in:</h1>
<form method="POST" action="login.php" autocomplete="off">
Username: <input type="text" name="username" required="required" /> <br />
Password: <input type="password" name="password" required="required" /> <br/>
<input type="submit" value="Login" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

I am a php beginner, and I am trying to post data to the same page. After testing I discovered that the php did execute, but didn't echo "It works".

Any help for this is appreciated.

You have printed the text in the head..

You should give the echo statement inside the body tag.Your code supposed to look like this..

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>login.php</title>
<meta charset="utf8" />
</head>

<body>

<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST')
{
  echo "It works!";
}
?>

<h1>Log in:</h1>
<form method="POST" action="login.php" autocomplete="off">
Username: <input type="text" name="username" required="required" /> <br />
Password: <input type="password" name="password" required="required" /> <br/>
<input type="submit" value="Login" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
