I think I might have found the problem, but I'm not sure how to fix it. I'm
just going to rebuild the form and it make it seperate (with all the
database calls in one page). For some reason, if I add another field before
the motto and i change it, it changes motto too...w/e I'll just make a new
one.

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?
