[RESOLVED] another !isset problem

[darthbutternutz]

I seem to be having similar issues that were posted here

my issue is, as soon as the page loads... it automatically....

echo "<b>enter a character name.</b>", exit();

here's my complete code

<?php  

$server = $_POST["server"];  

if (!isset($_POST["character_name"]) )
{
	echo "<b>enter a character name.</b>", exit();
}
else
	$character_name = $_POST["character_name"];  

if (!isset($_POST["character_name"]) )
{
	echo "<b>enter an account id.</b>", exit();
}
else
	$acct_id = $_POST["acct_id"]; 
$offense = $_POST["offense"];   

if ($_POST['submit']) {    

mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass");    

mysql_select_db("test");
$query ="INSERT INTO paypal (server, acct_id, character_name, offense)";   

$query.=" VALUES ('$server', '$acct_id', '$character_name', '$offense')";    

$result=mysql_query($query);    

if ($result) echo "<b>Successfully Posted!</b>";    

else echo "<b>ERROR: unable to post.</b>";  } 

?>

haha, i figured it out
here's my revised code

<?php  

// print_r($_POST);
if ($_POST['submit']) {  

	{
		$server = $_POST["server"];  

		if (empty($_POST["character_name"]) )
		{
		echo "<b>enter a character name.</b>", exit();
		}
		else
			$character_name = $_POST["character_name"];  

		if (empty($_POST["acct_id"]) )
		{
			echo "<b>enter an account id.</b>", exit();
		}
		else
			$acct_id = $_POST["acct_id"]; 
		$offense = $_POST["offense"];   

	}
mysql_connect("localhost","root","btb27426");    

mysql_select_db("nexontest");
$query ="INSERT INTO paypal (server, acct_id, character_name, offense)";   

$query.=" VALUES ('$server', '$acct_id', '$character_name', '$offense')";    

$result=mysql_query($query);    

if ($result) echo "<b>Successfully Posted!</b>";    

else echo "<b>ERROR: unable to post.</b>";  } 

?>

Are you positive you're POST'ing an element called 'character_name' to this script?

EDIT: Nevermind, we must've been typing at the same time.
