textarea input (html form) isn't echoed by php script. why?

Question

<form method='POST' id="myform" action='process-input.php'>
    <textarea form="myform" name='inputtext' id='inputtext'></textarea>
    <input type='submit' value='Submit'> 
</form>

The input of inputtext isn't echoed by process-input.php, which looks like this:

echo $POST_['inputtext'];

why?

Shouldn't that say $_POST['inputtext']?

The syntax of PHP post is $_POST,

You need change echo $_POST['inputtext']; instead of echo $POST_['inputtext'];
