 * Hi Guys
 * I am working on a plugin form. The problem is it does not set when the user submits
   it. Code below:
 *     ```
       <?php
       	if(isset($POST['course_form']))
       	{
                    echo "form set";
               } else {
                    echo "form not set";
               }
       ?>
   
       <form name="new_course_form" method="POST" action="http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/admin.php?page=mt-top-level-handle">
       	<input type="hidden" name="course_form" id="course_form" />
               <input type="text" class="txtbox" name="course_title" id="course_title" />
               <input id="publish" class="button-primary" type="submit" value="Publish Course" name="publish"/>
       <
       </form>
       ```

 * use **$_POST**[‘course_form’] instead **$POST**[”course_form’]
