Wade's comment is incorrect. The 'submit' $_POST entry will only be set if
the button named 'submit' is actually clicked. This is the designated
behavior for HTTP. What I usually do is use a hidden input field like
this:

  <input type="hidden" name="submit" value="submit" />

Sometimes, I'll name it "action" and set its value to something indicative
of the action to preform, like "create_new_user" or "login", then inspect
the contents of $_POST['action'] in the receiving script.
