Hey,
OK, so this might be something, but I seriously cannot find how I went wrong here.
This is my script:

<?php
$_POST['submit'];
$name = $_POST[$name2];
echo "It is going to database <b>db_".$name."</b>";
?>
<br>
</br>
<form action='' method='POST'>
<input type='hidden' name="Example">
<input type='submit' value='What db is it going to?' name='submit'/>
</form>

When the form is submitted, i want the sentence in the echo above to display
"It is going to database db_Example because of the example that the hidden input is named.

Can anyone help me?
