$_POST data not being sent

I have a simple form which was working and now im finding the post data isnt being sent and i can't see the problem

<form role="form" name="challengeform" action="scripts/arena_setup.php" method="POST" onsubmit="return confirm('Are you sure you want to attack this player?');">
    <input type="hidden" name="member_id" value="<? echo $member_id;?>">
    <input type="image" src="img/map/attack.png" alt="Attack" />
</form>

which is being handled by

if(isset($_POST['challengeform'])){ 
...
}else{ echo 'error'; }

it always shows the error due to the post data being missing but i just cant see what i've done. Any ideas?

You shouldn't write the name of the form. Just write input's name to get the data. Ex:

$var = $_POST['member_id'];

if(isset($_POST['challengeform']))

Form names are not part of the POST data. Only fields within the form.

Try testing for the field itself

if(isset($_POST['member_id']))
