Using if(isset($_POST['submit'])) to not display echo when script is open is not working

Question

I have a little problem with my if(isset($_POST[\'submit\'])) code. What I want is some echos and a table to not appear when the script is open but I do want it

Answer 1

You never named your submit button, so as far as the form is concerned it's just an action.

Either:

1. Name the submit button ()
2. Test if (!empty($_POST)) instead to detect when data has been posted.

Remember that keys in the $_POST superglobal only appear for named input elements. So, unless the element has the name attribute, it won't come through to $_POST (or $_GET/$_REQUEST)
