How to parse the results of str_replace to another php doc?

[bcp1961]

In attempting to make a FORM as user friendly as possible, I have used the "str-replace" function to replace the spaces of some of the form submissions with a "-" and then also with a "_". These new variables I then want to insert into a template html doc.
(My form is using a POST method)

How I am trying to get this to work specifically is like so:
User enters a keyword phrase into form, and upon pressing submit they are given the html code for a new page which will have taken the keyword phrases they entered and placed those same phrases into a hyphenated form and then an underscored form for the names of GIF files and HTML docs.

This is the code for the keywords--

<font face="Arial" size="2">Keyword 10:</font> <br><input type="text" name="kwp10"

size="50"><br>
<img src="images/px.gif" width="1" height="15" border="0"><br>
<?php

$kwpgif10 = (str_replace(" ","-",$kwp10));
$kwphtml10 = (str_replace(" ","_",$kwp10));

?>

kwp10 being the name of this particular FORM input and $kwpgif10 and $kwphtml10 the names I have referred to in the html template file.

<img width="32" height="32" src="<?php echo $kwpgif10;?>.gif" alt="<?php echo $kwp10;?>">

<a href="<?php echo $site;?>/<?php echo $kwphtml10;?>"><?php echo $kwp10;?></a><br>

I am able to get the $kwp10 parsed correctly into the html doc (this is one of the "input" boxes of the form) , however $kwpgif10 and $kwphtml are not parsed all.

I have also tried to make the kwpgif's and kwphtml's into hidden inputs with the str_replace code as the "value", but that doesn't work either.
I have searched on this forum and have gone to the php manual, but since I am new to this I really don't know what to search for.

I hope that this is understandable...I've only been working with php for a short time.
Thanks for any help!

I have also tried to make the kwpgif's and kwphtml's into hidden inputs with the str_replace code as the "value", but that doesn't work either.

and you've tried putting the resultant values as hidden elements?
<?php
$kwpgif10 = (str_replace(" ","-",$kwp10));
$kwphtml10 = (str_replace(" ","_",$kwp10));
?>
<input type=hidden value="<?=$kwpgif10; ?>">
<input type=hidden value="<?=$kwphtml10; ?>">

and since $kwp10 echos ok in the template, register globals is on? and the hidden inputs are within your form tags (i forget this sometimes)?
and you've echo/var_dump -ed $kwpgif10 and $kwphtml10 to see if you're getting any value before you pass to the tempate page?

and take off the parenthese surrounding str_replace? shouldn't matter.

Thanks for the response.
I tried your suggestions, but it still didn't seem to work.
When I tried the var-dump however it dawned on me that the script was trying to do the str_replace but it did not have the input yet.

I instead put the following code into the html template that the form info was being posted to:

<a href="<?php echo $site;?>/<?php $kwphtml10 = str_replace(" ","_",$kwp10); print ($kwphtml10);?>.html"><?php echo $kwp10;?></a><br>

(This was to make an html file name from the keywords which were input on the form.)

It seems to be working quite well now! Thanks for your help.
