okay, so i know there's an easy way to do this, and i've seen it done, sure of it. so 
please forgive the stupidity of my question, i don't even know where to begin to look 
in the archives either...

i have several forms on one page, they all submit a different variable, i then want to 
set one variable depending on that... okay, now i'm confusing myself, lets try explain 
it with some code...

<?

if(isset($_POST))
{
 $type = $_POST['news'] || $_POST['dreams'] || $_POST['storys'] || $_POST['words'] || 
$_POST['chat'];
}

?>

obviously this doesn't work. but i wanna set $type depending on which $_POST variable 
was sent. only one of these will ever be sent. rather than doing a big ass switch 
statement, is there no way i can get this into one line?

i hope this isn't too confusing...
