Answer 3

+3 A:

You're missing a closing parenthesis. It should be:

if(isset($_POST["firstName"]) && isset($_POST["lastName"]))

This won't work actually since you have more ')' than '('

fixed it, though when I clicked on edit, they appeared fine... strangeness...

@zdawg - you must have clicked on 'edit' at the exact moment that I submitted the very same edit :)

Thx, that explains it. :) I was beginning to think that SO is starting to reach levels of consciousness :)
