Using PHP to validate range slider

I have a simple range slider that allows a user to select an age

<div>
 <label for="age">Age: </label><label id="ageOutput"></label><br><br>
 <input type="range" id="age" name="vol" min="0" max="99" value="16">
 <br>
 <span class="error">* <?php echo $ageErr;?></span>
</div>

And I use JavaScript update a label with the value of the slider

<script>
 var slider = document.getElementById("age");
 var output = document.getElementById("ageOutput");
 output.innerHTML = slider.value; // Display the default slider value

 slider.oninput = function() {
 output.innerHTML = this.value;
 }
</script>

I’m trying to use PHP to check the value of the slider and validate whether it’s between 16 and 90 but I keep getting an error that “age” doesn’t exist.

This is the PHP:

if (($_POST["age"]) < 16 || ($_POST["age"]) > 90)
    {
      $ageErr = "Customers must be aged 16-90";
    } 
    else 
    {
      $rangeSlider = test_input($_POST["ageOutput"]);
    }

Not really sure where to go from here because this method has been working for other values in the form.

You have to make change some portion in HTML Code.

<input type="range" id="age" name="vol" min="0" max="99" value="16">

hear you have to replace name="vol" to name="age". I think after this kind of change in code your code works fine.
