I am having a similar problem as the original poster. In my case, I _want_
the second sumbission to overwrite the first, but it's not happening. What
I have is a radio button list all named="update" each with it's own value
(ie. 2,3,4,5,etc.). The form is self-submitting and tests on 'update' to
know how to proceed. What I'm experiencing is that after the first
submission, printing out '$HTTP_POST_VARS' array gives the correct update
value. Subsequent submissions also show this same value no matter what
value is selected in the form.
I've tried using 'unset($HTTP_POST_VARS[update]);' at the end of the script
after the var has been used and reprintingg the HTTP_POST_VARS array which
shows that it was unset, but on resubmission of the form, it reappears!
losing hair,
