[edit reason] fixed side scroll [/edit]
Secondly, your query is confusing. However, if your form says:
action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" - It submits to itself, meaning your processing code will be contained within the same page.
action="process.php" - It submits to process.php and your processing codee will be in here.
You got to make a conscious decision as to where you want your processing to take place, ie, same page or a different page.
I hope I have tried to clarify your query, if I have understood your confusion.
Your isset($_POST['submit']) might not be working but I am not sure...
<input type="hidden" name="submit" value="submit">
and thanx to all who posted
