 * Hi Guys
 * I am working on a form plugin for my admin section. I written a simple form but
   everytime I try submit it the input values are not POSTed. I don’t know if its
   my setup or something wrong with the code. I am using WAMPSERVER 2.0 – Below 
   is my code:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /*
       Plugin Name: My First plugin
       Plugin URI: -
       Description: -
       Author: -
       Author URI: -
       */
   
       function printNewCoursePage() {
       	if( isset($POST['stage']) && ('process' == $_POST['stage']) )
       	{
       		/*Course Title*/
       		if($POST['course_title'] != "")
       		{
       			$course_title = filter_var($_POST['course_title'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
       			if(trim($course_title) == "") {
       				$errors['course_title'] = "Please enter a valid title" ;
       			}
       		}
       	}
       	else {
       		echo "form not submitted";
       	}
       	?>
       	<!-- HTML BEGIN -->
       	<div class="wrap">
       		<h2>Add New Course</h2>
       		<form name="new_course_form" method="POST" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>">
       			<input type="hidden" name="course_form" id="course_form" />
   
       			<!-- Course Details Start -->
       			<div class="postbox">
       				<h3 class="handletxt">Course Details</h3>
   
       				<!-- Course Title -->
       				<div class="insidebox">
       					<div class="form_text">Course Title:</div>
       					<input type="text" class="txtbox" name="course_title" value="<?php echo $course_title; ?>" id="course_title" />
       				</div>
       				<input type="hidden" name="stage" value="process" />
       			<div class="postbox">
       				<h3 class="handletxt">Publish</h3>
       				<div id="major-publishing-actions">
       					<input id="publish" class="button-primary" type="submit" value="Publish Course" name="submit"/>
       				</div>
       			</div>
       		</form>
       	</div>
       	<!-- HTML END -->
       	<?php	
   
       }
   
       function addNewCourse() {
       	add_menu_page(
       		'Courses',
       		'Manage Courses',
       		'administrator',
       		'newcourse',
       		'printNewCoursePage'
       	);
       }
   
       add_action('admin_menu', 'addNewCourse');
   
       ?>
       ```
