Your form is pointing to action.html, not action.php. > <--------action.php----------> > #!/lusr/bin/php > Hi <?php echo $_POST["name"]; ?>. Ok, you don't need the first line (#!/lusr/bin/php), because this is a script for the web and will be processed by the web server. But you do need to save the file action.php with the ".php" suffix. I've just checked your online pages and your form is being sent to "action.html", not "action.php", so the PHP code is not being processed, because your web server doesn't look for PHP code in HTML files. I had a look at the source of your action.html file and it's like this: <html> Hi. Your name is <?php phpinfo(); echo $_POST["name"]; ?>. </html> The phpinfo() function is going to print a long list of information about PHP on the server, so you might want to remove that. So, to recap, you need to change the action attribute in your index.html file to "action.php", and then rename the file action.html to action.php (and maybe remove the phpinfo() function while you're at it). That should do the trick. Good luck, Erik
