I am trying to figure out why this code does not pass the value of the hidden input field on submit.
The code is taken out of a WordPress template page, i have stripped it from all characteristic WP tags in order to paste it here. The field id is "cutoff".
<?php
$cutoffdate = $_POST['cutoff'];
$school = empty($_COOKIE['school']) ? null : $_COOKIE['school'];
$department = empty($_COOKIE['department']) ? null : $_COOKIE['department'];
if ( ! empty($_POST['school']) ) {
setcookie('school', $_POST['school'], time() + 3600 * 24 * 30, '/');
setcookie('department', @$_POST['department'], time() + 3600 * 24 * 30, '/');
header('Location: '. $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
exit;
}
if ( ! $school) {
/*some code here */ }
elseif ($cutoffdate == "1") {
?>

I am probably missing something elementary or obvious, but i just cannot see why this doesn't work...
