Since I (and probably others) do not have "Beginning PHP5" then perhaps you could present us with the code of the pages and we could be more helpful.
Also, anything in the error logs?

Well without plugging through ALL that code at first glance, I noticed that you are including
"./common_db.inc" and you call the file
"./common.inc"
Next thing I would suggest is to check your
error_reporting line in the PHP.INI file. Make sure that you are actually reporting errors. Indeed if you have the include file name wrong (and presuming that the included file DOES NOT exist) you SHOULD get an error.
HTH get you started.
My next suggestion would be to try and narrow down the code that you presented to what you think is the relavant sections of where you think the problem might be.

did you check the error reporting in the PHP.INI file?
Also, you reference $PHP_SELF a couple of locations. If globals are off, then you need to call it by usint the $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] instead.
To make sure, when you load the page (initially) check the source to see if the ACTION item actually shows the proper page.
