missing simple php functionality

Hello all. Im having a strange problem. My php outputs html correctly, and Ive tried other builtin functions like date and that works too. But when I try to do something as simple as passing a value from a form to a php file and display that value, no go. the HTML: <html> <body> <h1>Enter Your Name</h1> <form action="simplephp.php" action="POST"> <input type="text" size="20" maxlength="20" name="user_name"> <input type="submit" value="Submit Your Name"> </form> </body> </html> the PHP file: <?php echo "Your name is $name"; ?> I fill in my name, I click submit, and where the name should be displayed it shows nothing. I have gone over this again and again and I just don't know whats wrong. I also noticed that register globals was OFF so I just turned that on, but still I have the same problem....any ideas? I really appreciate any feedback. Thank you! -Mike L
