Switch and Forms

I have stared at this code for an hour and can't figure this out to save my life. maybe I need more coffee

I'm creating a switch register page but every time I submit the form it refreshes the default page heres the code cut down extensively.

include("../tools/config.php");
session_start();

switch($_GET['action']){

case "joinb":
addmember($member);
break;

default:
register($user);
break;
}



function register($user){
echo "
<form method='post'>
data blah blah
<input type='hidden' name='action' value='joinb'>
<input type='submit' class='button' name='submit' value='Create Account'>
</form>
";
}

function addmember($member){
insert mysql function
}

Your form is submitted with POST method, so you should check $_POST['action'] instead of $_GET['action']

Well, you're POSTing the form so $_GET['action'] will not be populated. I would drop the switch and use...

if (isset($_POST['action']) && $_POST['action'] === 'joinb') {
    addmember($member);
} else {
    register($user);
}
