Trouble with writting global vars to...

I finally have a form up and working, it is posting to the database. The files are being written to the files directory just as it suppose to, although not forwarding the attchment to me yet :-/
But that is not why I'm writting. The problem is I'm trying to access the global vars after the post to put the information obtained using the form. I assign them to local vars using $Name = $_POST['Name']; ect... but when I try to write to the screen nothing shows up.
If you are good with using the CCForms and php if you would take a look at hogansbassets.com/CustomShotRecord.html I would appreciateany help with it.
Thanks Jon

Additional information, before trying to assign the global $_POST[..] fields I just used text strings and the page worked perfect and put everything exactly where I wanted it to be. So it has something to do with the PHP. I'm Just not sure what it is. I am assigning the vars to local vars so I can remove the preformated text from the CCforms POST if user did not enter anything in the field.

I'll give an example: this line <div id="CustomName"><?php echo $Name; ?></div>
If I change it to hard coding <div id="CustomName">Mr. Hogan</div>
then the code works perfect. This is the Global vars from a CCform that was just submited and stored in the DB and echoed to the owner of the form through EMail. I just need to take the info from the form and place it over a pregenerated form (as to fill it out). And from what I've read <?php echo $Name;?> is the same as not assigning the globals and just doing <?php echo $_POST['Name'];?> so not sure what it is.
This thread could also be under the WebForms forum.

Tried using the $_REQUEST Function in php rather than the $_POST, didn't help :-(
I keep reading at W3Schools.com but running out of ideas...ahhhrrrggg

Consider this thread solved, CC web form builder doesn't pass the global $_POST to your next page.
