Not sure if I am in the right forum. But, I'm having trouble trying to set up a login and register form. I'm building an HTML/CSS site but I want to run a Login in form in it. I have the files made in php, but when I tried to call the login.php from the action button in the form it downloads it instead.
I have a few files and a lot of lines of code. And I know some of you are going to post things like check the cs3 site or something useless. So, if you want to really help me, I can IM them to you or send them through email.
Please only serious helpers respond, if you are not serious, simply ignore and move on. I've been messing around with this for almost a year and can't get it to work.
Thank you.

We are not going to help you over IM. Please post the relevant code, such as the php handle of the login. It is not a matter of us being serious or not. The purpose of Dream In Code is to provide help that allows others to research & understand. If we help you over IM, then that does not achieve our goal as a programming community.
We are more than happy to help, but if you truly understand your code you have spent a year writing, then there is no reason you could not post the few inputs from html, & the few lines of code in php that gather & validate those credentials.

If it downloads the PHP script then it means that you are not running a web-server to serve the pages. Look into the Apache stack: XAMPP, or WAMP.
You cannot open a PHP page in the same way that you can a simple HTML page - any/all PHP tutorials will have told you this.

That would make sense actually, I had someone test my files and said they worked fine, but I was confused because they don't when I try. ...so you are saying they will only work when the site is live?

Ok, I'm getting closer. I am getting this when I try to log in or set up an account
"Failed to connect to server: Access denied for user 'lotusadmin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)"
Is it because I have to define the host in the config file? If that is the case, how do I find that information? is it their url, proxy, dns address,...?

You can test your site locally if you install one of the XAMPP, WAMP or LAMP stacks, as I mentioned already; there are others as well. I haven't provided links as you can find them easily through Google or another search engine
I find it extremely hard to believe that you "spent a year messing around" and haven't come across these terms. If you picked up a book, or went through a short tutorial, you are bound to come across these terms.

A year on and off. I mean, having a members area is something I wanted, but not needed. Whenever I came across things I knew I didn't know right off the bat, I left it alone.
On a good note, I contacted the host and they examined my files and explained what happened. It was the connection settings in the config.php file
Thanks tho. I will look into this you're talking about
