Any idea why the data entered in the text area never ends up getting passed to the variable here?

<?php
if (isset($_POST["field"])) {
echo $field;
?>
<a href="<?php echo $_SERVER[PHP_SELF]; ?>"><p><?php echo $field; ?></p></a>
</body>
</html>
<?php
die();
}
else
?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER[PHP_SELF]; ?>" method="post" >
<textarea name="field" rows="10" cols="30" ></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
