- Right, but as I mentioned, I need to handle the case where the data is submitted via POST AND empty, wouldn't these examples also fire off the code Foo when a user simply visits the form page?Unpossible– Unpossible2011-09-14 23:24:19 +00:00Commented Sep 14, 2011 at 23:24
- @Paul: It won't fire unless there is post data. As for empty, I just showed you. You need to validate the form data.Fake Code Monkey Rashid– Fake Code Monkey Rashid2011-09-14 23:28:17 +00:00Commented Sep 14, 2011 at 23:28
- I think there is a misunderstanding... please explain how the code in Foo does NOT get executed when a user is simply visiting the page without POSTing data.Unpossible– Unpossible2011-09-14 23:31:21 +00:00Commented Sep 14, 2011 at 23:31
- @Paul: Move it inside the $_POST code block then? I read some other comments and changed my example to what I think you are trying to do.Fake Code Monkey Rashid– Fake Code Monkey Rashid2011-09-14 23:40:54 +00:00Commented Sep 14, 2011 at 23:40

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
