Since my edits are apparently not accepted in other answers. Instead of calling a non existing php variable in $s1, On your action.php page write this.

if($_POST["submit"]){
    $fname = $_POST["fname"];
    echo "Great! Thanks" . $fname . " for responding to our survey" ;
}

This allows your form to pass the submitted data to the desired script. When you hit the submit button, you'll see the value that you put into the fname input field.

<?php echo $_POST['fname']?>

use the name attribute of the input to print the other fields 

<?php echo $_POST['lname']?> //for the last name and soo ..

action.php appears to be missing from your question, but either way, your first name will be in $_POST['fname']
