include function inside an isset function

[backups2007]

is it possible to use an include function inside an isset function?

something like:

[php]
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
include("insert .php");
}
[/php]

Heya, Backups.

Yup. In fact, just like you have there; a call to include() inside of a conditional block.

What if the input type that I use is button instead of submit, will the isset function work?

Nope. It is not good practice to check whether the form is submitted through the the 'submit' button because, as we know, there are many other ways of submitting a form.

Iff you're going to use a regular type=button ( i shall assume you're doing some sort of validation before submitting ) you should check for some other element and see if that is selected. eg. a 'terms and condition' select box.
