It works on two other sites in that way. I did not even know about the
$_POST array until recently.

The contact page is in contact.php, and the action is send_msg.php.
This send_msg.php seems to know the values of Method=Post variables.

I have INPUT TYPE = "text" NAME = "name", etc. and send_msg.php should
know the values of $name, $locn, etc.
