Hello. Without seeing the HTML this is only a guess.

My assumption is that you have a submit button named "submit".

Submit buttons use the value parameter for their text. Therefore $_POST['submit'] is always set and your function executes on every page load.

But that is just a guess, please provide the HTML that goes along with your code.
