Inside form1.php, remove the space within <? php.

OoH! Thank you very much!!! I can not think that <? php can cause an error. I tried very much for this problem and I could be mad.

The book you are using is VERY good!!!

I used the same one to learn PHP/MySQL.

If you are just learning, here is an invaluable tip: set PHP's error reporting to report everything.

You know, I have heard you mention this book you love so much more than once JdS. Would you be so kind as to share the name of it with the unwashed masses.
