    Accessing $_POST when no POST data was sent -> Option B
  3. Quick Check:

    Using $_POST without POST data causes error [OK]
Quick Trick: Match superglobal to form method: POST or GET [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming no error when accessing missing keys
  • Confusing syntax errors with logic errors
  • Ignoring form submission method
