Hi Steve, He's using Ajax, so some variant of the XMLHttpRequest Javascript object on the client. It may not be obvious which method is used when the data is sent. Now that I think of it, printing $_SERVER[REQUEST_METHOD] should let you know which one is being used. hth.

If you have an empty $_POST array, then the <form> isn't using action=post, or you didn't code your button as type="submit" (?) Just suggestions - since I can't see the code.
