Hi,
Well, you didn't show us all your code, so it is hard to say what went
wrong.
Try this:
send.html
***************************************
<html>
<body>
<form action="receive.php" method="Post">
firstname:<input type="text" name="firstname">
<br>
LastName<input type="text" name="LastName">
<br>
email:<input type="text" name="email">
<br>
Comments:<input type="text" name="Comments">
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Post me please">
</form>
</body>
</html>
***************************************
and the file receive.php:
***************************************
<?
$firstname=$_POST["firstname"];
$LastName=$_POST["LastName"];
$email=$_POST["email"];
$Comments=$_POST["Comments"];
?>
<html>
<body>
I received:
<br>
Firstname: <? echo $firstname; ?><br>
LastName: <? echo $LastName; ?><br>
email: <? echo $email; ?><br>
Comments: <? echo $Comments; ?><br>
</body>
</html>
***************************************
That code should always work.
