$_REQUEST problems

[ninedoors]

I have a form that submits 6 variables to pull data and displays it on the page.  I am having a problem though with one variable and can't figure out what is going wrong.  The hmtl for the variable I have having trouble with is

 

<?php

echo '<form name="filter" action="'.$scripturl.'" method="get">
                                            <table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" style="margin-top:6px;">
                                                <tr>
                                                    <td style="font-weight:bold; padding:3px 5px 3px 10px; text-align:right">'.$txt['records_season'].':</td>
                                                    <td align="left"><input type="hidden" name="action" value="leaguerecords">
                                                        <span id="select_season" style="padding-left:4px;">'.$context['osm']['record_selects']['season'].'</span>
                                                        <span id="select_divs" style="padding-left:4px;">'.$context['osm']['record_selects']['divs'].'</span>
                                                        <span id="select_rp" style="padding-left:4px;">'.$context['osm']['record_selects']['rp'].'</span>
                                                    </td>
                                                </tr>
                                                <tr>
                                                    <td style="font-weight:bold; padding:3px 6px 3px 10px; text-align:right;">'.$txt['records_record'].':</td>
                                                    <td align="left">
                                                        <span id="select_type" style="padding-left:4px;">'.$context['osm']['record_selects']['type'].'</span>
                                                        <span id="select_sa" style="padding-left:4px;">'.$context['osm']['record_selects']['sa'].'</span>
                                                        <span id="select_length" style="padding-left:4px;">'.$context['osm']['record_selects']['length'].'</span>
                                                    </td>
                                                </tr>
                                                <tr>
                                                    <td> </td>
                                                    <td style="padding:7px 0 0 6px; text-align:left;"><input type="submit" value="Get Records"></td>
                                                </tr>
                                            </table>
                                        </form>';
?>

 

All the $context['osm']['record_selects'] are select boxes.  The one I am having problems with is the $context['osm']['record_selects']['divs'] which are the divisions in my league.  So when I submit the form I see all the correct variables in the address bar.  But on my submit page I have this code to filter the division variable:

 

<?php

//divisions
    if (isset($_REQUEST['div']) && ($_REQUEST['div'] == 0))
    {
        $context['osm']['record_settings']['div'] = 0;
        echo $_REQUEST['div'];    
    }
    elseif (isset($_REQUEST['div']))
    {         
        //make sure that the divs exists
        $request = $smcFunc['db_query']('', 
            'SELECT division FROM {db_prefix}osm_divisions WHERE event_id = {int:event} AND division = ({string:divs})', array(
                'event' => $context['osm']['record_settings']['season'],
                'divs' => $_REQUEST['div'],
                ));
        while ($row = $smcFunc['db_fetch_assoc']($request))
            $context['osm']['record_settings']['div'] = $row['division'];    
        $smcFunc['db_free_result']($request);
        
        if (!isset($context['osm']['record_settings']['div']))
            $context['osm']['record_settings']['div'] = $context['osm']['default_div'];   
    }
    else
        $context['osm']['record_settings']['div'] = $context['osm']['default_div'];

?>

 

Obviously the echo in the first condition is only there for debugging.  So having the div variable set to 0 means get all divisions.  But when I submit this form it is always true in the first condition even though the echo inside the condition says 'A' or 'B'.  I can't figure ou how this is possible. Any thoughts or help would be great.
