There are some things the page that processes the request will have. First, the variable that has the contents of the form will be $_POST with each name as a key on that array. You can do something like this to see the structure and values on a submitted form:

print '<pre>';
print_r($_POST);
print '</pre>';

Other things will depend on your config. You might need to act on the text to strip slashes out, etc.

Thanks I actually found out what I needed

@extract($_POST);

dang sorry I used to do this for a hobby and loved it but, haven't touched it forever, too much hospital time too much perscription drugs too much garbage :)

Thanks guys
