Try this.. save both files in the same folder
1)This is index.php or can be saved as index.html also
<html>
<body>
<form action="welcome.php" method="post">
Name:
<input type="text" name="name"><br>
E-mail:
<input type="text" name="email"><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
2)This is "welcome.php" only.
<html>
<body>
Welcome <?php echo $_POST["name"]; ?><br>
Your email address is: <?php echo $_POST["email"]; ?>
</body>
</html>
I hope this can help😊

did you put some input on the textfield? or did you enter any data? that code should work.

did you copy and paste the codes or you manually typed it?

so i figured out to just do it all in the same php file i can run it like this.
in a php file named "test.php"
<html>
<body>
<form action="" method="POST">
<p>Name:<input type="text" name="name"></p>
<p>E-mail:
<input type="text" name="email"></p>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>
<?php
echo "Hi , ". $_POST['name'];
?>
<br/>
<?php
echo "Your Email is , ". $_POST['email'];
?>
</body>
</html>
i left the action empty so it opens in its self and it worked smoothly.

in the other file which is first.php
<html>
<body>
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
?>
</body>
</html>
