PHP form action

Question

I have a simple php connection to my database, I think i did most of the process right, but when I hit the submit button it just renders my actual php file on my screen.

Use PDO or MySQLi, the regular msyql_* functions are deprecated, also use prepared statements. — angelcool.net, Nov 07 '15 at 18:56
Do not use MySQL functions to communicate with your DB try to use PDOs. Do you have PHP and MySQL enabled on your Web server ? — Cyprien Aubry, Nov 07 '15 at 18:58

Make sure you are using a web server that supports PHP. It is rendering the code because PHP is not processing your code and renders it as text.

Try using another web server or install PHP on your current setup.

Also use MySQLi or PDO for your database part (it's safer and mysql_* is deprecated).
