Script ignoring an IF statement. *SOLVED*

[pocobueno1388]

I have a forum script and I am making it so moderators are able to move topics to different boards. I have already made plenty of features like this throughout the script, but for some reason it seems like the IF statement is being ignored.

Here is the part of the script that is not working:
[code]
<?php

if ($_POST['move_board']){

$topic_move = $_GET['topic_move'];

$new_board = $_POST['new_board'];

echo "<table class='main'><td class='main' align='center'>Successfully moved topic.</td></table>";

mysql_query("UPDATE forum SET category='$new_board' WHERE topicID='$topic_move'");

}

print <<<HERE
<form action="boards.php?topic_move=$topic" method="post">

Move: <select name="new_board">
<option value="general">General</option>
<option value="advertise">Advertise</option>
<option value="buying">Buying/Selling</option>
<option value="creativity">Creativity Board</option>
<option value="contests">Contests</option>
<option value="bugs">Bugs</option>
<option value="breed">Breed Suggestions</option>
<option value="othergames">Other Games</option>
<option value="help">Help</option>
<option value="suggestions">Suggestions</option>
</select>

<input type="submit" name="move_board" value="Move">(not working yet)

</form>

?>

HERE;

?>
[/code]

What is happening is when I click on the submit button named 'move_board' it takes me to where the form action is set, but nothing happens. It's like it totaly ignores the IF statement above. As I said before, I have used this method many times and I have no idea why it decided not to work this time

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks =D

add an else and print out a debug line like "hi"

see if that is really what's happening.

I just did that and nothing happened =/

Ugh, sorry for putting you guys through the trouble. I made a stupid mistake. I had the form action sending to a different page while the IF was on the same page as the script I was working with. So it's all working now.

Thanks.
