Personalized thanks message on contact form

I have got the following code to make a contact form works:

<?php
session_name("fancyform");
session_start();


$_SESSION['n1'] = rand(1,20);
$_SESSION['n2'] = rand(1,20);
$_SESSION['expect'] = $_SESSION['n1']+$_SESSION['n2'];


if(isset($_SESSION['sent']))
{
    $success='<p>GThanks for contacting us! We'll reply you asap!</p>';
    $css='<style type="text/css">.demo-form{display:none;}.thanks{display:block;}</style>';

unset($_SESSION['sent']);
}
?>

The problem there is that I would want to add a personalized message.

Example: My name is Xavi, so if I type on the name field: Xavi, I will get a reply like this one: Thanks for contacting us Xavi! We'll reply you asap!

I dont know how to solve it, since I tried the following values but without any result:

&name, 'name', ['name'], '['name']'

Contact form label:

<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input type="text" placeholder="Nombre" id="name" name="name" data-parsley-trigger="change" required tabindex="1" autocomplete="off" value="<?php echo (isset($_SESSION['post']['name']) ? $_SESSION['post']['name'] : ''); ?>" >

In the same place where you define $_SESSION['sent'] = true, add another session variable to store the name:

$_SESSION['name'] = $_POST['name'];

Then, use it in your message:

$success="<p>GThanks for contacting us " . htmlspecialchars($_SESSION['name']) . "! We'll reply you asap!</p>";

Side note: you have an issue with the quotes because you wrap the string in single quotes, but use another single quote in the word We'll.

You can access to the form data by using the $_REQUEST array : 

echo $_REQUEST['name'];
