PHP doesn't set up the variables quite like that, at least not by
default. Try this instead:
<?php
echo( "Welcome to my website, $_GET[firstname] $_GET[lastname]!" );
?>
If you want it to behave that way (it apparently did at one time), look
up register_globals in the config section, or import_request_variables
in the functions section. Either one can be used to reinstate this
behaviour.
