   I have placed a form on the edit categories admin page using add_action('edit_category_form'.

   When I view the page in the browser I see that:

   1) My form tags are stripped
   2) The form is included in the id="editcat" form
   3) That form's action is categories.php

   When I submit the form on the 'Edit Category' page I return to 'Categories' and my $_POST has disappeared.

   How do I get to the $_POST data that's sent and use in a function?

   Thanks for _any_ guidance!

   So I solved it by calling the function in the main body of the plugin file inside an if that checks for my $_POST variables:

   // Save before $_POST is re-set by categories.php
   if(isset($_POST['my_post'])){
   	my_function();
   }

   Maybe there's a better way, but this works :)
