Question

I am not sure if i am treating my “same page” forms in a good way.
The way i am doing, is adding a hidden input called “action” with value='1' to my form.
And then, in the beggining of the page, i verify if the $_POST["action"] has a value, if it does, then i run the code.

I don’t know if this is the right way. If there is any other way to do that, i will be greatful to know.
Thanks in advance.

Another way to detect a POST request is:

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
    // ... deal with $_POST parameters
}

You should not only check for the request method; Always validate the users input.
