Just to point out how good the manual is :)
php.net/echo
"echo() is not actually a function (it is a language construct) so you are
not required to use parentheses with it. In fact, if you want to pass more
than one parameter to echo, you must not enclose the parameters within
parentheses. It is not possible to use echo() in a variable function
context, but you can use print() instead."
instead of
echo("Hi ",$_POST['fname']," ",$_POST['lname'],"Thank You For
Registering !!!");
try
echo "Hi ".$_POST['fname']." ".$_POST['lname']."Thank You For
Registering !!!";
