Almost straight from the tutorials:

<FORM name="vregform" ACTION="../regreply.php" method="post">
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=”last_name”>
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=”first_name”>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE=Submit>
<td>
<tr>
</table>
</FORM>

"regreply.php"
<html>
<body>
<?php echo $_POST["first_name"]; ?>Should be a name?<br />
Thanks for your registration information.
</body>
</html>

Simply reply page doesn't include the value of "first_name" submitted on the form??

I just started trying to learn PHP, shouldn't this work?

Of course it's two files, he even specified the second file by labeling it with "regreply.php"

wcmatt - I just looked through your code and it seems as if everything is coded properly (other than a few missing quotation marks that are considered conventional). The only reason I can think of that your script isn't working is that your path to regreply.php is wrong. Check the relative location, or use an absolute URL in your ACTION, and try again.

adamparkzer - I think the path to regreply.php is ok, I am getting a page displayed that looks something like this:

Should be a name?
Thanks for your registration information.

What is missing from the display is the value of $_POST["first_name"]. Which should be set by the submited "vregform". It appears that I am not picking up the form data.

This actually seems too easy even for me to mess up! Any other thoughts?

Thanks for the response.

The problem is in the tilted quotes wrapping last_name and first_name:

Code: 
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=[SIZE=3][COLOR=Red][B]”[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]last_name[SIZE=3][COLOR=Red][B]”[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]>
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=[SIZE=3][COLOR=Red][B]”[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]first_name[SIZE=3][COLOR=Red][B]”[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]>
Using notepad (not Word), replace them with straight down quotes ( " ).
