    Hi, I have a form on my website that once submitted, I want the data to be posted on the page it redirects to.

    Here is what I am doing (with just one of the form fields)

    Form
    <input type="text" name="fname" id="fname" size="30" />

    PHP code on next page

    <?php

    $fname = $_POST ['fname'];

    echo "<p>The following information has been submitted:</p>";
    echo "<p>First Name: " . $fname . "</p>";


    ?>

    The crazy thing is this...It was working at one point, the data from the form was being posted with the above code...but now I have no idea what happened, it just all of a sudden stopped working.

    Any help would be great!!!

    <?php

$fname = $_POST['fname'];

echo "<p>The following information has been submitted:</p>";
echo "<p>First Name: " . $fname . "</p>";


?>
    PHP:
    There seemed to be a blank space between the $_POST and ['fname']. Try correcting this and test again ;)

    did you wrap the <form> tag around the textbox?
