Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' on line 22

Code s开发者_开发问答nippet from line 22:

<?php
//Submitting to ourselves via POST
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>"/>
?>

Try this:

This is not working either:

<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" />

---

Only PHP code should be between <?php and ?>.

Remove the outer PHP tags:

<!-- Submitting to ourselves via POST -->
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>"/>

Update:

I also changed the comment to an HTML comment. You don't want it showing up on the page. You could also just remove the comment, or do this:

<?php // Submitting to ourselves via POST ?>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>"/>

If you have HTML where PHP is expecting PHP code, you will get unexpected '<' errors, and if you have PHP where there should be HTML, it will show up on the webpage, unexecuted.

---

you have html code inside your PHP block

do this:

<?php ?>
//Submitting to ourselves via POST
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>"/>

or just remove the first line entirely

---

Try this:

< form action=" < ?php $PHP_SELF; ?>" method="post">

By the way, submitting to yourself can be:

<form action="" method="post">
