Hello all, I am trying to place some html tags within my php script. When I do-I wrap with a <p> tag</p> , but then I am unable to validate the script. I have tried the tags outside the php and in the php and can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated. Here is the script: <?php // Script 5.0000 - age.php $string_story= "In the matter of prolonging human life, science has played no part whatever. Take the case history of one Bessie Singletree. At the early age of five, Bessie suddenly became six and entered school. On trolley cars her age remained at six until she was nine. When she was 11 years old, she was 12, and for the benefit of movies and railroads, she was 12 until she was 15. On her 27th birthday Miss Singletree became 24. At 40 she was 39 and remained so until she was close to 50. At 50 Bessie was 40; at 60, 55. On her 70th birthday everyone said Grandmother Singletree was pretty chipper for an octogenarian. At 75 she had her picture in the paper as the oldest woman in the county, aged 93. Ten years later she passed away at the ripe old age of 109.<br />"; $sub="At the early age of five, Bessie suddenly became six and entered school.

Thank you - wildteen88

I am sorry.... I got it. I found a mistake in my code that I had changed during a test. Thank you very much for your help. I am so excited I was able to get this to work with a lot of help from this forum!!!!!! Thank you for having a place like this. Anne

I am sorry I can't figure this out.....frustrating!!  I tried what you had and know only the last name shows up, I even took the dollar sign out from the fname and still ony the last name works.  Anymore help is greatly appreciated. Thank you Anne

That helped alot!!! :)    This is what worked: '.($_POST['fname']).' But now I am trying to add their last name.  I have tried '.($_POST['fname']['lname']).'  '.($_POST['fname']).' '.($_POST['lname'].' I keep getting errors. i am looking in alot of books trying to solve this and I am sure it is very simple-just not simple to a newbie.  Thanks again in advance for your time and patience. Anne

Thank you for helping me-I am only seeing that you added the {$fname} {$lname} and that did not work-is there something else I am missing??? Thank you in advance for your time and patience. Anne
