ugh! One Page, 2 re-loads (page request i guess) i guess i didn't really have to make this page load repeatedly like this (but, why should it matter, right? i mean.. technically, couldn't i get it to reload indefinietly?) but, i didn't want the user to be sent all over to different pages just to fill out this little scheduing form thing.
i see already from the PHP code coloring that i've got something seriously wrong right around my midsection
i've spent so much time on this alone already, i could really use a fresh pair of eyes. i realize i probably should have tried to debug that section... but... what can ya do.. thanks for reading!

if isset(...) doesn't really do anything... i left it there cause i was being lazy-- thinking it was some BandAid i put over some other part which was poorly structured. the whole date thing is heavily influenced by helpers in another great forum.

i see what's wrong w/ that middle part-- one too many else's in that if else expression! :O
probably because i was originally pulling the date part in via include (notice the html break near the bottom)... yes-- a schizo hodgepodge of messed up. this things got more cut and paste than a 2nd grade art class!
lemme check to see if that fixes it...
(*crosses fingers*)

hey there-- i hope no one has bothered w/ this... i realized my errors
suddenly it occurred to me that i was getting a white screen every time, instead of the NOTICE and WARNING messages... here, something i installed must have modified my php.ini and i just realized it!
what a headache-- it's so much easier when you know which lines are messing up!!
doh!
