Yes.

$_POST[ID]
Since there are no quotes around the variable name ID and no dollar sign in
front of it, PHP will look for a constant named ID and if one is not found
it will blow chow.

$_POST['ID']
Should work find, assuming a variable named ID came from your form. However,
I wouldn't get in the habit of writing my arrays like this.  It's confusing
to say the least.

Depending on your error_reporting() level whether this warning is reported
or not. Better to not use this method, though.

 $_POST['ID']

What habit would you recommend? This is the way to do it. Not sure why the
spaces are there, but without them, this is the way you should write your
arrays.
