Re: What is wrong with this code

Peter I had the if ( isset( $_POST['submit'] ) ) { in there and it did not work. I have used this on several sites, the only difference is that I was tyring to contain it in one file. I also created a file just to process the POST, but it still did not work. I was thinkning it was something really simple like a mistyped word or misplaced " or ' or ().
