Check your php.ini file and see if "Register Globals"
is turned on or not. It seems to me that your
variables aren't populated with anything because the
register globals switch is off. You have two options:
turn on register globals (not usually a good idea), or
change your variable names from $firstname, $lastname,
etc. to $_POST['firstname'], $_POST['lastname'], etc.
LMK if this works.
Thanks and HTH!,
