$_GET is working, but $_POST is not.
The follow code works when I use the GET method in the form, but not when I use POST.
If anyone as any ideas I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

Why are you using $_REQUEST? If you want to use the post method on your form replace $_REQUEST with $_POST

Try
However I haven't checked any other code for errors, but you don't seem to be passing anything with name=mode even though its in your code.PHP Code:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

echo '<h1>Rules Administration</h1>';
if (isset($_POST['ruletext'])):

$ruletext = $_POST['ruletext'];

Stupid yet obvious point (I see Mandes has corrected it) but you are using Method="Get" in your form therefore only $_GET and $_REQUEST will work, post won't as there are no post variables set.

I have tried using method="POST" in the form, along with changing the $_GET to $_POST. Still will not work.
Thanks,
