Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] Trouble with forms

[Chris Weiss]

When you have more than one form you can only submit one of them, so the
field value from the other form is not really set to nul but field simply
isn't there at all.  In the case that you try to change cat_name, an isset
($multi1) will return false, assuming register_globals is on.
