New user, having a couple of issues

[eluser]darkpedro[/eluser]
Hi there. I'm a new user to both PHP and CI. I've gone through the tutorials and a couple of other CI tutorials that I've found.

So, I get stuck on all the forms tutorial for the dumbest reason. For some reason I cannot get a submit button to work. I get everything to display, I can fill things in, but when I click submit, nothing happens.

I'm using

Code:

<php echo form_open('form/submit'); ?&gt;

to open,

Code:

<?php echo form_submit('submit', 'Submit'); ?>

for the button, and

Code:

<?php echo form_close(); ?>

to close but I'm stuck at this point.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Is learning CI alongside of PHP even a good idea? Thanks for your help.

edit:
I've also autoloaded the 'url' and 'form' helpers.
