PHP: How to check if post when normal link

I have this

          <form action="profiles.php" method="POST" name="SearchAdvanced" id="SearchAdvanced">
            <a style="display: inline-block; width: 100px; font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer;" id="submitSearchAdvanced">Sök </a>
            <script>
                        $('#submitSearchAdvanced').click(function() { 
    javascript:document.SearchAdvanced.submit();
        });
            </script>
</form>

How should i call it? should i do if($_POST["SearchAdvanced"])

If what you posted is the entire form, you don't need to submit it using POST, because you are not altering a resource on the server. Instead, you should remove the form and leave only the link - and maybe style it using CSS like you did.

Besides checking request method, you can also do a check for variable being set in POST:

isset($_POST['SearchAdvanced'])

Offtopic: Also, "pro" tip: never uset double quotes ( " ) if you do not have variable definition in it.. There is a difference between single and double quotes in PHP. http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php

Check $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'], which will be "GET" or "POST".

The manual page for $_SERVER describes the indices in detail.
