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?

That definitely all looks fine.
If you do:
echo 'post vars: ' . print_r($_POST, true) . '<br/>';
does it show up in post at all?
