Change that to
echo "Welcome to my website, " . $_GET['firstname'] . " " .
$_GET['lastname'] . "!";
The reason for this is that with 4.3.0 register_globals is set to off by
default. This is a much-needed security measure, as it keeps curious
people like me from screwing around with your website by manually
entering variables and bogus values...
You can now reference form variables with $_GET and $_POST,
respectively. Read all about it here:
