you should use if(isset($_POST)){ // your code } – Hraday Joshi Mar 08 '17 at 11:48

`$_POST = 'submitted'` means set value `submitted` to variable `$_POST`. Why do you do it? – u_mulder Mar 08 '17 at 11:50

Obvioulsy what you need is
if (isset($_POST['submitted'])) {
// code here
}
isset($_POST['submitted']) checks if key 'submitted' isset in your $_POST array.
In your code
if (isset($_POST = 'submitted')) {
isset checks the result of assigning value 'submitted' to $_POST. But the result of assignment is some value, and this value can not be checked if it is set. As a side effect your $_POST is overwritten and you lose all your data inside it.
