Anything in single quotes is interpreted as a string literal. You need to use double quotes, or string concatenation to output the value of the variable.

 

$variable = 'rest of the string';
echo "This is the $variable.";
echo 'This is the ' . $variable;

Array variables work different than 'normal' variables within a double-quoted string.  Normally, something like:

 

echo "Some value: $value";

 

Works just fine.  For array variables, you need to stick them in curly braces for it to work, like so:

 

echo "Look, it's an array variable: {$array[$key]}";

 

In your case, name needs to be put in single-quotes ($ama['name']).

Oh, yeah. I seem to have missed that part . . .
