    In PHP variables are case sensitive.

    Replace isset($_Post["comp"]) with isset($_POST["comp"]) in your if

    I have caught a capitalization error with one of your variable names. $_POST must be capitalized because variables in PHP are case sensitive which means that $_Post["comp"] must be edited to $_POST["comp"] or your server will determine that this variable does not exist. You can beautify your PHP code and check for capitalization errors through https://beautifytools.com/php-beautifier.php if you encounter any further errors with your code.
