Self-referring page...

<form action="mailer.php" method="post">
	<select name="sendto">
		<option value="Brent Howard">Brent Howard</option>
		<option value="Webmaster">Webmaster</option>
	</select><br />
	Your Email Address:<br />
	<input type="text" name="sender" width="25" maxlength="60"><br />
	Subject:<br />
	<input type="text" name="subject" width="25" maxlength="60"><br />
	Message:<br />
	<textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="40"></textarea><br />
	<input type="checkbox" name="mailinglist" checked>Include me in your mailing list.<br />
	<input type="submit" name="submit"><input type="reset">
</form>
		<? } ?>

This form exists on a page called mailer.php. Upon submitting it returns to itself where some logic decides what to do. Blah blah blah..

If you access this page from a different page, you get a Notice: at the top. Is there anyway to keep PHP from printing these damn notices to a page or is there a better method of coding this so I don't get a warning?

i dunno if this will work but try it:

instead of:
if($HTTP_POST_VARS['submit'])

try

if ($_REQUEST['submit'] == 'true')
{
}
ELSE
{
}

Nevermind.. I forgot about isset(...) 😃 Thanks.
