[UPHPU] Posting a form

Some more testing reveals a difference in behavior between IE and FF:

If you provide a value to your submit button it will pass that value to 
the form as if you had clicked the button.  This works in FF when you 
press "Enter" instead of clicking the button:

<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
    echo "POST3d!";
    var_dump($_POST);
    exit;
}
?>

<form method=POST>
    <input type=text name=test1>
    <input type=submit name=submit value="Submit This Puupy">
</form>

But you get nothing in IE.

I have been bitten by this before and that is why I switched to checking 
the $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] to see if the page was POST'd.

The hidden variable method also works well as suggested by Dave.
