Action in Form is printing the file name rather than invoking the action's php file? [message #726812]

I am very new to php programming and particularly in eclipse. I am having this problem that wasn't happening before.

My file is called index.php, I have only one file called, which is index.php, and I have this very simple code in it. Basically my code just call itself:

 <head></head>
<body class="twoColLiqLtHdr">
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action='index.php'>
<label>
<input name="textfield" type="text" id="textfield" />
</label>
<label>
<input type="submit" name="submitcontent" id="submitcontent" value="extract files" />
</label>
</form>
</body>

When I run the code and click the submit button, instead of reloading index.php as I have put in the action request, the output is a white page with a string "index.php". I spent several hours trying to find the error with no hope.

Can you please advice what is my mistake,

In eclipse I use debug as PHP script. Does it matter ?

What is keeping me wondering is if I run this code in dreamweaver, it works perfectly i.e. reloading the index.php as it is suppose to do.

Many thanks

Thank you
