form problem

[edg322]

When I submit my form, a blank page is returned back with no content.  The form should post back to itself.  (The 'action' attribute is the same page)

I have the following code at the top of the page:

[tt]if(isset($_POST['postback']) && $_POST['postback']=='y' ){
echo "page posted back";}
else {
echo "page did not post back";
}[/tt]

And within my form I have:

[tt]<input type="hidden" name="postback" value="y">[/tt]

When I first load the page, "page did not post back" is found on the top of the page.

However when I submit the form, no content is returned at all.  Any suggestions?  ???

Post all the form code please.

Your snippet looks fine to me.
If you are doing this just to determine wether a form is posted or not in general, you could sniff for the submit button instead - saving you the trouble of hidden fields:
[code]

<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
  echo "Form is posted";
}

echo <<<_HTML

<form method="post" action="test.php">
<input type="text" name="q" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Post this form" />
</form>

_HTML;

?>

[/code]
