if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { if(!isset($_POST['userName'])) { $username = 'Anonymous'; } else $username = $_POST['userName']; } I cannot get the $username to be "Anonymous"? It is either blank or the value of $_POST['userName'].

Use the empty function to check if a variable contents something: <?
In my case, when posting from HTTP to HTTPS, the $_POST comes empty. The problem was, that the form had an action like this //example.com When I fixed the URL to https://example.com , the problem disappeared. I think is something related on how the server is setup. I am having the same issues using GoDaddy as a host.
You can check the existence of $ _POST with the empty() function. But, the empty() function will return true in the following cases: When all $_POST values are empty strings. The argument is zero.
The isset() function checks whether a variable is set, which means that it has to be declared and is not NULL. This function returns true if the variable exists and is not NULL, otherwise it returns false.
isset() will return true if the variable has been initialised. If you have a form field with its name value set to userName, when that form is submitted the value will always be "set", although there may not be any data in it.
Instead, trim() the string and test its length
if("" == trim($_POST['userName'])){ $username = 'Anonymous'; } If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
