Run this and see what you get.

<?php
$name = $_GET['name'];
echo $name;

May be

Code:

---

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST")

You're POSTing, but there's no Content-Length or data being sent.

Use GET

Uhm.... Your HTTP header seems a bit awkward. I don't know how important it is, but usually HTTP/1.0 is not on a new line, but is after the URL, with a space between them.

And usually the only field with a double newline is the final field before the actual content. Plus you have two Accept fields, and no Accept-language, or content-length. So you're not posting content....

Indeed, try GET.
