I think all php functions are case sensitive and must be all
lowercase. try changing "IsSet" to "isset" and give it a run. I im not
100% sure because i always type every function in php lowercase and
keep it the same throughout the application so i dont ever have to
worry about that. Just a thought.

WILD GUESS:
Somewhere in your form and/or the logic, you are sending GET data for
$action as well as POST data for $action, and you are confusing the two.

Show us your stripped-down but still-broken code.
