Aisch!  Hmmm... yep, clear as mud.  Let me describe what I we have going on:

We have a function called ToForm which looks like it verifies values coming
in from a POST.  This function is invoked like this:

$generic->ToForm("cart_id", NO_DEFAULT_VALUE);
$generic->ToForm("email_address", NO_DEFAULT_VALUE);

I don't understand the $generic-> and what happens when it "becomes"
something twice.  The ToForm function looks like this:

        function ToFORM($val, $default, $makeuppercase=0) {
                global $FORM, $$val;
                if(!empty(${$val}))
                        $FORM[$val] = trim(${$val});
                else if($default != NO_DEFAULT_VALUE)
                        $FORM[$val] = $default;
                if($makeuppercase)
                        $FORM[$val] = strtoupper($FORM[$val]);
        }

Thanks for the help!
