  No you don't need to separately install them. Make sure you have the latest xampp server installed.
  
  For the form action, Can you post the action script here? Which method are you using to collect the data?

  HTML CODE
  
  
  
  

  
  What is your name?
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  
  
  PHP CODE/////
  
  
  
  welcome.Your name is:
  echo $_POST["fname"];
  ?>
  
  
  
  The result comes// welcome.Your name is:
  
  and please also tell me the location of these two files if form.htm is placed in a folder on desktop and form.php in htdocs of xammp. is it necassary to have a copy of form.php within same folder as form.htm. I have done both cases but it does not work..it does not show name written in text area of form.

  You have to keep both the files in the same directory. Only the files inside the htdocs folder are available or lets say part of the server. All of the related files have to be there. I will test your code in my own system and get back to you with the solution. 😀

  Dude you need to put the form.html in the same folder, which is htdocs. It will not work untill then. Both files need to be part of the server. No matter how good your code is, if both the concerned files cannot be accessed by the server how can they interact?

  Your code seems correct. I don't understand the issue then. Anyways, What about joomla?

  Even if you are using a same framework but different projects, you have to make multiple copies of it unless both are linked in some way. you cannot host two different websites on a single framework. The DNS would not be able to resolve them.

  You should use pre-made frames for making dynamic environment websites. Its pointless to scrap code yourself again. Ultimately you will wind up making something resembling them. So why to code again when it is already done. Not to waste time, effort and money and start instantly.
