$submit will not be set under the default and recommended configuration of
PHP, so the whole block gets skipped. Search for 'register_globa ls' to find the
answer to your frequently asked question.

[ Remaining 700+ lines snipped. Please only post short snippets demonstrating
your problem. The process of cutting code down to a concise example often shows
you the error anyway. ]

I assume you have register_global s = On in your php.ini

If you don't you need to refer to variables from the from with the
global arrays $_POST and $_GET (and possibly $_COOKIE).

see http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.globals.php

Predefined Variables

Also, insert these two lines

error_reporting (E_ALL);
ini_set('displa y_errors', '1');

in your code, right after the first php opening tag; so that php reports
every error, warning and notice to you.
