what I do sometimes is throw in keywords or the like:

if (IsSet($_POST['action'])) {
// $action = $_POST['action'];
echo "stage 1";
} else {
// $action = $_GET['action'];
echo "stage 2";
}


That helps me to determine the logical order of execution. I don't
think case has anything to do with it, as Chris had asked, but I don't
suppose it would hurt.

YOu can also use phpinfo('INFO_VARIABLES'); to print all env vars to see
if your var is even coming through. However, the above example will
pretty much determine this.

Hope that helps.
