I guess so, here's what worked:
everybody was telling me this, but I failed to notice that what everyone said
was to use $_POST['applicant']
but I was using $_POST['$applicant'] I wasn't paying attention to the "$"
<HTML>
<!-- jobapp_action.php-->
<BODY>
Welcome
<?php echo $_POST['applicant']; ?>!
</BODY>
</HTML>
What I would like to use is: echo ("Welcome " . applicant . "!");
But it doesn't work, so I guess I'll worry about learning what works first.
