i'm trying to make a script that will let people enter their picks for the upcoming NCAA basketball tournaments. its a multipage thing where you enter your picks one round at a time. it stores the data into a txt file that is created and named based on your name
here is the code:
submit.php:
<center><b><big><u>Select the First Round Winners</u></big></b></center>
<br><br>
<form name="picks" action="http://www.adamlange.com/mm/2.php" method="post">

on 2.php, the data is stored into the right file (yourname.txt). but on 3.php, the $name variable doesn't work! so it stores the info into ".txt". what is wrong?!? can someone please help?
thanks
