[Xitami] Simple PHP

[Alasdair Macdonald]

Unless you have glabal variables ON in your php.ini file (a bad idea), you 
need to bring the fields after the "?" into the url into your php code with:

$phpfirstname=$_REQUEST["firstname"];

(or similar, depending upon your configuration / version - it's in the php 
manual).
