  Hi!
  
  if im reading your code right... i think where you have $fullname=""... you are saying that, that variable $fullname is nohthing... so you have to define that variable. in the video, it is being defined as 1. if you want information that a user is submitting in a form to wqual that variable, define that variable by using the $_POST or $_GET (whichever method you are using)
  
  
  i think that might be an issue, i hope im right and have not led you in the wrong direction! let me know!
