I think you are missing the code for action.php?

action.php appears to be missing from your question, but either way, your first name will be in $_POST['fname']

Add something that lets him/her know to check to make sure the submit button has the value of post. Review my edit please.

<?php echo $_POST['fname']?>

Since my edits are apparently not accepted in other answers. Instead of calling a non existing php variable in $s1, On your action.php page write this.

if($_POST["submit"]){
    $fname = $_POST["fname"];
    echo "Great! Thanks" . $fname . " for responding to our survey" ;
}

This allows your form to pass the submitted data to the desired script. When you hit the submit button, you'll see the value that you put into the fname input field.

Not sure why I got a down vote for this answer, seeing as how it's a correct and valid answer, but whatever.

Ben Chamberlin Over a year ago

The down-vote is because this answer has two typos that will prevent your code from executing. Correct them and I'll happily undo the vote. The edits were rejected (not by me, but I agree with them) because they didn't actually add anything to the answer.

user3542456 Over a year ago

Typos are fixed, thanks for letting me know about them. I know my edit didn't really add to your answer, but I figured that since the OP is new to PHP, he/she would like to see what to do to get the variables when the form is submitted

Ben Chamberlin Over a year ago

Down-vote undone. I totally get that. I'm tempted to add tips and pointers like that too all the time, but we're technically supposed to stick to the questions. Otherwise we might as well write the whole application for them. :D

user3542456 Over a year ago

Thanks for removing it. I've got a bad habit of doing exactly that in writing an application to help people. I should probably stop doing that.
