The End.

Is the firstname a part of the mysql table? if so you might try getting the information from the table and echo it. Without more information I can't give you any further advice.

ok. i am using the program above to manage my mailing list. what i want is to edit it so that when people subscribe they have to enter their first name. this means when i send out mail to them the persons first name will appear at the top of the email. there is no database involved as the program is all run using php. that help?

I looked through the program a bit and it seems to store all of the information in html files (I think). You are right in saying that no database is needed to store the information, but it does have to be stored somewhere. I don't really know exactly what you need to do to solve your problem, but if no one else has an exact solution for you, then you need to go into each file and see what is saved. It seems there are folders for saving each piece of information. If you add a first name folder and a first name field in every place where there are other types (by types I mean email address, company info, etc.) of folders and fields. This will allow the information to be saved and then you can probably do a minor edit to your form to actually submit the info.
