Problems with $_POST

I'm having problems passing data from a form, I can't figure out where I've gone wrong. I have modeled my page on one that works but mine does not function.

I want to check I have the general structure right. I have stripped it right down and it still wont work.

<?php
    define('INCLUDE_CHECK',true);
    include 'php/functions.php';

    error_reporting(E_ALL); 
    ini_set('display_errors',1);

    logThis('ready!');  

    if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {       
        logThis('success'); 
    }
?>
<html>
<head>

</head>
<body>
    <form method="post" action="">
        <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />
    </form>
</body>
</html>

This is the whole page now, I have commented everything else out. logThis() works i get the 'ready!' in the log but no 'success' message when ever i press the submit button.

Modify your HTML code

You can get posted data only by the name of input field

<?php
if(isset($_POST["username"]))
{
$username = $_POST["username"];
echo $username;
}

?>
<html>
<head>

</head>
<body>
    <form method="post" action="">
        <input type="text" name="username"/>
        <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Sorry for my bad english!

In PHP, $_POST expect the name of input field, not the id.
So you need to set names to your fields:

<input type="hidden" id="villainClass" name="villainClass" value="" />
<input type="hidden" id="heroClass" name="heroClass" value="" />
