Getting button pressed

[jodleren]

Hi

It is late and I am tired. I cannot remember how to check which of my
buttons on the form was pressed. There are all submit's.

Like

echo "P=".$_POST['btn_post1']; // and eventually using isset()

But how was it it was?

Unless you use javascript with 'onclick' to set a hidden variable, I
don't think there is a way of working out which submit button was pressed.

The contents of $_POST['btn_post1'] will contain the contents of the
value= parameter of the pressed button.

Re: Getting button pressed

If I have a form

<form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="get">

<input type="submit" name="sub" value="Submit1" />
<input type="submit" name="sub" value="Submit2" />

</form>


I could check which one was submitted using the value.

e.g.

if (isset($_GET['sub']) && $_GET['sub'] == 'Submit1'){

echo 'Submit1 was pressed';

} elseif (isset($_GET['sub']) && $_GET['sub'] == 'Submit2'){

echo 'Submit2 was pressed';

}

<form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="get">

That should be <?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?of course, before
anyone comments... ;-)

Of course there is. Just give it a name and its value will be sent to
the server if you activate the button.

Oh? Never thought thought of naming a _submit_ button..

I gave up on em..they look too clunky..I always use javascript instead
on custom buttons..

Or even just:
<form action="" method="get">

It's just another form control, nothing special.
