Assuming you have PHP on your server, try something like the following;

<form method="post" action="<? echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?>">
(rest of form...)
</form>

and anywhere else on your page...

<?php
if(isset($_POST["test_Data"])) {
print("<p>test_Data = ".$_POST["test_Data"]."</p>\n");
}
?>

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
