<div><label>Name:<?php echo $_POST["name"];? ></label><br></div> In this line, you have a whitespace after $_POST["name"];? here > It should have been like ?> .
Turn on error reporting. It will help you identify your errors. If you have access to php.ini file, turn on display_errors. If you don't have access to php.ini file, then, put

ini_set("display_errors","on"); 
error_reporting(E_ALL);

in your script.

Cheers,
Naveen

Edit: More about error_reporting here .

Edit 2: And here is one more error. This line should be echo'ed as well. <h1> Below is the infos you had submitted:</h1> Should have been echo "<h1> Below is the infos you had submitted:</h1>"; Edit 3:

{
echo $f."<br />";
}

What is this for ? This loop don't have a condition ! { } wont do anything.

Check this and compare it with your script. Oh, btw, you can ignore notices(if you get any!).

Ah! thats because, you don't have a name for submit button, but you are checking if submit is set. if(!isset($_POST['submit'])){ Just give a name to submit button. name="submit" and it will work.

:) You are welcome!

by the way, i created a login page, the submit button action is linked to welcome.php which shows the username on it. In this welcome.php also i created a link to the page where the codes shown above. However the username cant be shown at this page.
Look at this:

<div><label>Name:<?php echo  $_POST["name"];?></label><br></div>

which is within form margin. Is there any problem with this as well?

nav33n 472 Purple hazed! Team Colleague Featured Poster · Answer 6 · 2008-03-02T12:59:21+00:00

Nothing wrong with the code. Check if $_POST is correct. Check all the post-ed form variables by using print_r($_POST) in welcome.php.
