    copied!<p>PHP Code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if (isset($_POST['pwsubmitted'])) { $pwsub=$_POST['pass']; if ($pwsub != "TEST"){ $s=1; $msg = "Incorrect Password"; $msg2 = "Try Again"; } else if ($pwsub == "TEST"){ $s=2; $msg = "Password Accepted"; $msg2 = "Your Download Is Below"; $msg3 = ""; } // so I can see what's going on when form submit happens echo "s="; var_dump($s); echo "&lt;/br&gt;"; echo "msg="; var_dump($msg); echo "&lt;/br&gt;"; echo "msg2="; var_dump($msg2); echo "&lt;/br&gt;"; echo "msg3="; var_dump($msg3); echo "&lt;/br&gt;"; } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>Form, Placement Shown Below:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="passform"&gt; &lt;form id="pwform" method="post" action=""&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="pwsubmitted" /&gt; &lt;center&gt; &lt;span class="titleblue"&gt;Enter The Password&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/center&gt; &lt;input name="pass" id="pass" type="password" class="password" /&gt; &lt;input name="submit" type="submit" class="submit" style="cursor: pointer;" value="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>Other Code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if (isset($_POST['pwsubmitted'])) { if ($s == 1) { Do This }; if ($s == 2) { Do This }; } &lt;?php if(!isset($POST['pwsubmitted'])) { ?&gt; &lt;HTML FORM FROM ABOVE HERE&gt; &lt;?php } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>When I submit the form... nothing happens. The original form stays up as if the pwsubmitted post variable isn't set. There's two different things that happen, either a msg saying try again, or it shows the content. Neither occur.</p> <p>What did I do wrong??</p>
