I was thinking about why my variables weren't working and it has to do with the $POST variable from the info check form. Once the user presses the submit button on the info edit page, it will reload itself, and since the $POST['change variable was no longer set, it would just reload the forms or come up with a blank page becuase nothing had set to true. So I was brainstorming and I can't believe I thought of it before, but it made it work. I figured since the $POST['change'] variable wasn't set whenever the $SERVER[php_self'] was called, i put a hidden input in the form on the info edit page, so when the page did reload, it would be resubmitting the $_POST['change'] with the appropriate value so the page would always show it being set. PROBLEM SOLVED!!!! THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED OUT!!!!!!! Explanation below......
