Kae, Excuse my being dense, but I just want to get your meaning with the lines you added. You're saying to substitute if($_POST['submit']=='Sign!') for if ($submit == "Sign!") and to try ('$_POST[name]', ... (and not $_POST['name'])?
in your code, the first variable was $submit. The $_POST version of this is $_POST['submit']. the second set of variables was /already within quotes/, therefore the quotes around the variable name should be left out. the best way to write quoted variables is probably to exit quote mode first, but I thought that might be too confusing for just a little code. For example: echo '$submit = '.$_POST['submit']; instead of: echo "\$submit = $_POST[submit]"; I hope that helps clarify it a bit. Kae
