Why ???

For passing values trough successives pages, I use $_SESSION variable.

Here is a simple function I've created:
function getvalue($fieldname){
if (isset($_GET[$fieldname]))
return $_GET[$fieldname];
elseif (isset($_SESSION[$fieldname]))
return $_SESSION[$fieldname];
elseif (isset($_POST[$fieldname]))
return $_POST[$fieldname];
else
return "";
}

I've this form:
<form name="ReturnBack" method="GET" action="/index.php?">
<center><input type="Submit" name="SubmitButton"
value="Retour"></center></form>

in the index.php page, when I show the SubmitButton value, I get "Search",
the one set in the $_SESSION["SubmitButton"]
Why the $_GET["SubmitButton"] value is empty ?? The Submit type doesn't set
the value ????

I'm not sure what you mean here, but from your story I gather that you
also have a $_SESSION variable called SubmitButton?

If this is the case then your function will never reach the $_POST
variables because isset($_SESSION['SubmitButton']) will evaluate to true.

It's the $_GET['SubmitButton'] that isnt' called, not the POST. And since my
form is in GET method, it should be called ???

Cheers

Apparently (I didn't test it) it should work.
Do you have error_reporting set to E_ALL?

.... maybe that will report some misnamed index

Do you see " SubmitButton=Retour " in the url after submitting the
form? That will confirm/deny the value is actually being transmitted.

Alternatively, change the form's action to a phpinfo page to confirm
exactly what's where.
