HTML form within PHP tags

Question

I want to make a form that submits data from user input into a database. However, when making the form, it does not appear in the browser.

Here is the code.

echo '<form name="submit" method="post" action="reservation_confirm.php">';
echo '<Confirm: <input type="submit" name="confirm" value="confirm">';
echo '</form>';

or if you really want the < to show before Confirm then echo '>Confirm: ... — developerwjk

You have a less-than sign < to many.

Change:

echo '<Confirm: <input type="submit" name="confirm" value="confirm">';
//----^ remove

To:

echo 'Confirm: <input type="submit" name="confirm" value="confirm">';

It's because of less sign on your second line. It is considered HTML opening tag. Try this:

echo '<form name="submit" method="post" action="reservation_confirm.php">';
echo '&#60;Confirm: <input type="submit" name="confirm" value="confirm">';
echo '</form>';

Or simply remove it.
