Post & Get commands not passing variables

Hey Everybody!
I'm trying to use the <form> command with method="post" and when I display the named variable with:
<html>
<body>
You wrote:
<?php
echo $_post["name"];
?>
</body>
</html>
All I get is "You wrote:"
and everything after that is blank.
I've decided that the post method is not passing the variable array to my .php file.
Is there something that needs to be turned on in the Apache Server or php Server?
Also, there are no error messages in the php error log file.
Please advise.
Peace, Grace & Love;

Did you save your file in wamp/www folder and access it through localhost?

Yes.
I'm doing everything locally before uploading to my host server (who happens to have the same setup).

Well, it doesn't do it on the Host computer, either.
So, am I doing something not right, or is there some configuration module that has to take place first?

Did you try HTTP_POST_VAR and HTTP_GET_VAR yet?

Actually, I don't know what those are and also I can't find any reference to them in the tutorials on php.
How are they used? Is there a $_ that goes in front of them? Is there a configuration in the php.ini files that needs to be set?

Ok,
I edited the php.ini files on both my WAMP server (in php) and the host server's php.ini file.
Still, no luck.
I set the global vars to On and a few others down the line and yet, nothing.
Where did I go wrong?

Oh my goodness! For get about $HTTP_POST_VAR and $HTTP_GET_VAR which are used for older php version, for this version, I found your problem:
<?php
echo $_POST["name"];
?>
Instead:
<?php
echo $_post["name"];
?>

OK, YOU WIN!
It's that doggone UPPERCASE thing again! Or Case sensitive or Case sensitivity of it all!
The $_POST works!
You know, when I refer to The LORD, LORD is in all-uppercase. Other than that, I do not type in all uppercase and hitting the shift key for word emphasis is no big deal.
When referring to Jesus, you can write: The Lord Jesus or The Good Lord
When referring to Xanadu The Holy Ghost, you can write: The Lord Xanadu
With that naming convention in mind, everybody will be able to understand who you are writing about.
Now, back to php:
And I did read where php names are indeed case sensitive.
I really appreciate your help!
