From what I saw from your code. Inside the form tag, you need to add action='answer.php', this is a direct link to the page you are requesting data from, in this case answer.php.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container">
        <form method="post" action="answer.php">
            <div class="form-group">
                <label> Insert P value </label>
                <input type="text" name="p" placeholder="please insert your P value">
 </div>
<div class="form-group">
    <label> Insert R value </label>
    <input type="text" name="r" placeholder ="please insert your R value ">
</div>
<br>
<div class="form-group">
    <label> Insert your N value </label>

    <input type="text" name="n" placeholder=" please insert your N value">

</div>
    <button type="submit" name="submit" > Submit </button>
</body>
</html>

You need to make your form post directly to answer.php. By making it post to itself and then redirecting you're losing all the submitted data - it's sent to your index page and then not transmitted again to the answer page. The redirect causes a separate GET request and doesn't contain any of the submitted data.

The other alternative is to move all the logic into index.php and not bother with a separate script at all.
