Re: Checking for form submission

Hi Shaun, Your expression is evaluating, if you like does the $_POST superglobal exist and it does but might be empty, this would be the same for $_GET and other superglobals. If you did the following: if (isset($_POST) && !empty($_POST)) { echo '(isset($_POST))'; } This would only appear if there was in fact a $_POST variable 'set'. If you want to test to see if a form has been submitted, I would suggest that you use the name from the submit button. e.g - <input type="submit" value="Send Form Data" name="sendform"> if(isset($_POST['sendform'])){ echo "Form has been submitted!"; } So basically this checks if the form button "sendform" is set.
