hmm..interesting. Neither the motto or desc is showing up in the array. I made a simple form and the echo 'post vars: ' . print_r($_POST, true) . '<br/>';
works fine. I'm just perplexed on why the motto is still working and not the desc. Maybe it's because I'm using a fieldset, but then why wouldn't just one not work? On 7/6/06, Chris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

If you do: echo 'post vars: ' . print_r($_POST, true) . '<br/>'; does it show up in post at all? -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
