Besides the namingproblem (boldtags), another thing:
You use:
print("$_POST['name']");
Why do you use the "" around the $_POST["name"] ?
simply do:
echo $_POST['name'];
You said you are a novice. My advise would be NOT to use
variablesubstitution in strings untill you understand what is happening.
eg:
$name="vinnie";
echo "Your name is $name";
Works just fine, but it is excactly the same as:
echo "Your name is".$name;
The above example wasn't very tricky, but this one is worse:
$name[0]["firstname"] = "vinnie";
echo "Your name is $name[0]["firstname"]";
which will result in an error (because of the "" used as stringdelimmiter
and in the name-array.).
Easier is just to assemble your string using . as glue:
echo "Your name is ".$name[0]["firstname"];
