it's possible to set (or overwrite) a GET variable or a POST variable in your script, just be writing
$_GET['page'] = 'blah';
$_POST['page'] = 'blah';

so they don't have to come from a URL or a form (although they usually do).

i think isset just checks whether a variable exists. it doesn't care where it came from.
