I have installed PHP a number of times following tutorials from online
and from a book. I have been able to process simple functions such at
date() but when it comes to simply sending information from a HTML form
to a PHP page to display it doesn't work.

I know it isn't my programming as i have copied it word for word from a
book, and even used one of their examples from the site.

The code I have used in the PHP page is:

<?php
/* This page receives and handles the data generated by "form.htm".*/
print "Your first name is $FirstName.<BR>\n";
print "Your last name is $LastName.<BR>\n";
print "Your E-mail address is $email.<BR>\n";
print "This is what you had to say:<BR>\n$Comments<BR>\n";
?>

and all of those variables relate to a text field in the form on the
HTML page (form.htm).

Any suggestions on how to sort this out?

Thank you very much
