The form action should be $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']. Here case matters, since this is a string and not a variable name. If action is empty, I believe browsers simply send the request to whatever URL the page was accessed at. Since you're already at a GET (with ?addtext), the POST request actually includes both the GET and the POST, so the the form is shown again. Just var_dump $_GET and $_POST and you'll see what's happening. Rabin
