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.

I stripped down my original script until it started receiving POST data,
then I kept modifying it until I figured out where the problem was. I
found it, but I'm still as clueless as every.
To summarize: I have a form that posts to the same script that contains
the form. In its original state, when the script is called after I
submit the form data, the $_POST[] data is completely empty and the
_SERVER variable that indicates the type of data is set to "GET".
In the script is the following code:
if (IsSet($_POST["action"])) {
// $action = $_POST["action"];
} else {
$action = $_GET["action"];
}
Normally the second line is not commented. When I comment out that line,
then the $_POST array has all of the data I would expect it to. When it
is not commented, then it does not work.
Just to make sure that I am really confused, this bit of code is *after*
the call to var_dump($_POST), but *before* the code that creates the form.
Does anyone have any ideas about why setting this variable has such a
large and seemingly unrelated affect?
WILD GUESS:
Somewhere in your form and/or the logic, you are sending GET data for
$action as well as POST data for $action, and you are confusing the two.
Show us your stripped-down but still-broken code.
How about using single quotes around all the action phrases:
if (IsSet($_POST['action'])) {
// $action = $_POST['action'];
} else {
$action = $_GET['action'];
}
I'm slowly learning, myself, on the proper placement of quotes.
Thanks
