why is post data not present

[eluser]codeigniterzzz[/eluser]
Here is the view file:

Code:

<form action = "http://yoinko.com/locker_settingstwo/processform" method = "POST">
   <div class = "lockersettingstwodiv">
    <h2>&lt;?php echo $this->session->userdata('labelname'); ?&gt;</h2>
    <p> Control who can view/ReGemz the collection in this locker </p>
    &lt;input type = "text" name = "testing" value = "" /&gt;
    &lt;input type="radio" name="permission" value="1" /&gt; Public - Others can view/edit this locker<br/>
    &lt;input type="radio" name="permission" value="2" /&gt; Me Only - Only you can view/edit this locker<br/>
    &lt;input type="radio" name="permission" value="custom" /&gt; Custom - Locked to everyone, meaning only friends I choose can view/edit this locker<br/>
   </div>
    &lt;input type="submit" name = "Next" value="Next" class="btn btn-large btn-primary" /&gt;
    &lt;input type="submit" name = "Cancel" value="Cancel" class="btn btn-large btn-primary" /&gt;
  &lt;/form&gt;

and here is the controller/method that receives the form's post.

Code:

function processform()
{
    echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'];
}

now why is it printing GET instead of POST??? because clearly the form is posting...I have no idea why this is happening, and any help suggestions would be appreciated...thanks.
