    What is [op] in the title? I'm new to php, but op should be a fieldname and the code I took that from is not a fieldname as far as I can tell.

    it can be also hidden input name, ex. <input type="hidden" name="op" value="somevalue">

    op refers to a field of a form. When this form submits data to your script, $_POST['op'] stores the content of the field named op.

    * okay... too late ;) sorry pluswebdev

    so in my opinion it must be $_POST['op']
    didn't you forgot the '' ?

    You guys are right. I guess I didn't try hard enough to find it in the code. Sorry to have wasted your time. :D

    never mind ;)

    @robca you do not need to put the " or ', because every unknown text will be automatically parsed into a string. It's not a good idea to get used to it though, because on some systems the interpreter puts a warning message. And it can lead to other unexpected / unwanted results... so better use the quotation marks ;)

    it SHOULD be:

    $_POST['op'] and NOT $_POST[op]
