You don't actually have a variable named $do at this point.
You can either have php set this variable automatically by turning on
register globals in the php.ini file or you can extract the variable or do
something like this:
foreach ($_POST as $key => $post)
{
echo "$key = $post<Br>";
$$key = $post;
}
