you put all the info into forms like author Publisher. Where it was published and it spits it back in the correct bibliographical format

the problem im having is when you submit query the stuff is coming up right only the commas and periods are coming up heres what i have.

bookbib.html



<html>
<body><form action="format.php" method="POST">
Author First Name: <input type="text" name="fname" />
Author Last Name: <input type="text" name="lname" />
Book Title: <input type="text" name="title" />
Place Of Publication: <input type="text" name="place" />
Publisher: <input type="text" name="publisher" />
Date Of Publication: <input type="text" name="date" />
<input type="submit" />
</form></body>
</html>
and Format.php



<html>
<body> <?php echo $_POST["lname"]; ?>.,
<?php echo $_POST["fname"]; ?>.<br>
<?php echo $_POST["title"]; ?>.<br>
<?php echo $_POST["place"]; ?>:
<?php echo $_POST["publisher"]; ?>,<br>
<?php echo $_POST["date"]; ?>.</body>
</html>
