Thanks for the responses. Of course, three minutes after I sent the message, I saw this in element.php: // constant values override both default and submitted ones // default values are overriden by submitted Is there a downside to doing "$_POST=array();" prior to instantiating the object?

well I don't think you can. $_POST is a "superglobal" which is read-only. Surely your problem could be solved somewhere else in your code. HTH Jeroen

Amazingly enough, I *can* clear the $_POST array and it solves my problem. If it is not a clean approach, I will try something else. Okay $_POST is *not* read only (thanks Andreas).

Well I guess you could clear the $_POST array if it works fine for you. What I would do in your case though (if I understand correctly what you're trying to do) is something like this: //page1.php $form = new HTML_QuickForm(); // make it point to itself - not page 2 if ($form->validate()) { header("location: page2.php"); exit; } else { form->display(); } this way you won't have any variable cluttering.
