Learn the new way. Use $_POST['FirstName'] and if inside double quotes wrap the arrary references in curly braces: echo "Your first name is {$_POST['FirstName']}.<BR>\n"; See http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php for the complete explaination on register_globals and the new magic globals $_GET, $_POST, etc. Incidentally, you could look at the archives first, since this *is* the most common question these days: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&w=2&r=1&s=undefined+variable&q=b
