Below is a simple php file that recieves input from a form html file. The php file outputs the first and last name, but their is no space between the names. Does anyone know how I can get a space between name in the php file?

As a minimum this will work: <? print("<p>"$fusername." ".$lusername."</p>"); ?> But it's a better idea to do something like this (assuming your form on the preceding page is like the following): <form name="yourform" action="yourscript.php" method="post"> You'd want to do this in yourscript.php: <? // Remove any tags from all $_POSTed variables to avoid xss problems foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {

        $_POST[$key]=strip_tags($value);
    }

print("<p>".$_POST['fusername']." ".$_POST['lusername']."</p>"); ?> - Ben
