I'm having trouble deciphering what you actually want to do from your rather cryptic example, but isn't the whole point of the form that it passes "name" as a variable to the page that is specified as the action? Just make the action a php page, and display the value of name using the variable "$name". If that's not what you were getting at, then please re-post more clearly.
