Re: problem with a small script

Suman, Firstly, it's a bit longer than necessary. Make your form a 'POST' rather than 'GET' and you'll hide your query and <?php echo $fname; ?> will then be the equivalent. I presume that you have been able to display other PHP stuff? Check your php.ini file and make sure that the part that allows you to use the short <? rather than having to always use <?php is enabled.
