Using images as buttons

[Anon]

I have two images which act as previous and next buttons.

If I use normal buttons I can detect which button was pressed simply by changing the buttons' name, but when I convert it to an image, processing the form, does not seem to detect which image was selected.

Can anyone help please.

When using an image to submit a form, the name of the image is not available to the script as a posted variable. Rather, the x and y coordinates of where the user clicked on the image.

Where a regular submit button with a name attribute of "submit" would be available to your script as $submit or $HTTP_POST_VARS["submit"], an image would be split into two variables,$submit_x and $submit_y, and $submit would not be defined.
