Hello,

You are receiving a 1 for each name in the echo because the variable is not set to what is passed. It is currently being set to the return code of the isset() function. These are returning 1 as they are true.

If you change the code:
$fentry =isset($_POST['fname']);
$lentry =isset($_POST['lname']);

to the following:
$fentry =$_POST['fname'];
$lentry =$_POST['lname'];

they will echo the first and last names as you desire.

Kindest Regards,
Scott M
