I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this naive question.
I got a simple form addform.html and add.php look like the following.
But everytime I got empty value from firstname and lastname. It seems like
the input value in the html page was not passed on to the php variable $firstname in
add.php. Anyone give me a hand on this naive question?
Great thanks.

$result = pg_exec($db, $query);
if (!$result) {
printf ("ERROR");
$errormessage = pg_errormessage($db);
echo $errormessage;
exit;
}
printf ("These values were inserted into the database - %s %s", $firstname, $surname);
pg_close();
