I have a page I only want accessed if someone clicks "submit" on a form. Why am I able to access the page when I type in the URL?

I have a page named "booking.inc.php" inside a folder marked "Private". Here is the PHP code I wrote to prevent someone accessing the page by typing in the URL unless they click a button with the attribute "submit" and the name "book"...

<?php 

if (isset($_POST['book'])) {
echo "It works!"; 
}   
else {
header("location: ../index.php");
}

The HTML page is named "booking.php" and is not in the Private folder.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<?php require "header.php" ?>
<title>My Website</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="private/booking.inc.php" method="post">
<input type="text">
<input type="text">
<button type="submit" name="book">Submit</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>

When I enter in some text into the form and click "submit", I just get a white page and nothing else. No echo statement that says, "It works!" Also, when I type in the path into the browser to get to booking.inc.php, I also just get a blank white page instead of being directed to index.php.

What am I doing wrong?

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
