form help please !

[andrew_biggart]

Im trying to make a form page post to it self when it is submitted, but i im having a few problems, when the page first loads it displays an error message as if the form has tried to be submitted which isnt what i want, how do i tell it not to run the php until the submit button has been pressed?

 

im using the following code for the form and php

 

	<div id="page_content_topic">
<table class="myprofile_change">
<tr><td class="myprofile_changesh">
<tr><td class="reg_status"> 
<?php

   include("config_members_temp.php");
   $recipe_username=$_GET['username'];   
   $recipe_title = ($_POST['recipe_title']);
   $recipe_ingre = ($_POST['recipe_ingre']);
   $recipe_method = ($_POST['recipe_method']);
   $recipe_cat = ($_POST['recipe_cat']);



   $sql = "INSERT INTO User_recipesT ( Recipe_username, Recipe_subject, Recipe_content, Recipe_ingre, Recipe_cat ) VALUES( '$recipe_username', '$recipe_title', '$recipe_method', '$recipe_ingre', '$recipe_cat' )";
   $result=mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error().": $sql");
     if($result){
echo "Your recipe has been successfully to our database";
}


// if not found
else {
echo "Ops there has been a problem please go back and try again!";
}

    ?>
    </td></tr>
    </td></tr>
</table>
<form method="post" action="upload_recipe_submit.php?username=<? echo"".$_SESSION["myusername"]."" ?>">
<table class="myprofile_change">

<tr><td class="myprofile_subtext2">You are about to add a recipe to the 
	weloveweed mansions achieve. Make sure that your recipe is as sensible 
	as possible without being to dull. Even if its a recipe you have just
