The Feedback Form

Thanks for your reply! Though, I'm still a bit confused. Are you meaning here: "</select> <input type="text" name="email" size="20" /></p>" in my html doc? I changed it to: </select> <input type="text" name="name" size="20" /></p> But it still is not working. -
I've been working on building the feedback form as detailed in chapter 3. However, upon submitting the feedback form, the user's name does not appear. For example, in the handle_form.php, it comes up: "Thank you, Ms. , for your comments. You stated that you found this example to be 'excellent' and added: Great job!" The person's name is missing. I have copied my code below. Can you let me know if I'm overlooking something and why it doesn't include the person's name? --------Here is the HTML---------------- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang"en" <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content'"text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Feedback Form</title> </head> <body> <!--Script 3.1 - feedback.html--> <div><p>Please Complete this form to submit your feedback:</p> <form action="handle_form.php" method="post"> <p>Name: <select name="title"> <option value="Mr.">Mr.</option> <option value="Mrs.">Mrs.</option> <option value="Ms.">Ms.</option> </select> <input type="text" name="email" size="20" /></p> <p>Response: This is... <input type="radio" name="response" value="excellent" />excellent <input type="radio" name="response" value="okay" />okay <input type="radio" name="response" value="boring" />boring <p>Comments: <textarea name="comments" rows="3" cols="30"></textarea></p> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send my feedback" /> </form> </div> </body> </html> ----------------------Here is the PHP---------------------------- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang"en" <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content'"text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Your Feedback</title> </head> <body> <?php $title = $_POST['title']; $name = $_POST['name']; $response = $_POST['response']; $comments = $_POST['comments'] print"<p>Thank you, $title; $name, for your comments.</p> <p>You stated that you found this example to be '$response' and added: <br />$comments</p>"; ?> </body> </html>
