Can I have multiple submit buttons ?

[Anon]

If I have a number submit buttons one after another, How do I know which button is pressed dynamicly (no hardcoded)? Based on which button pressed the value of that particular item is passed to the php script.

I am thinking something like:

print "<form method=\"post\" action=\"$PHP_SELF\">";
for (i=1;$i<=$rows;$i++) {
print "<value type=text name=$somevar value=$somevar>";
print "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"select\" value=\"Select\">;
}

My problem is $somevars is always the last item in that for loop, what I want is the value of that particular selected item.

Thanks.

there are several ways you can do this. The one that I tend to use (doesnt mean its the best way, just the one I am familiar with) is something like:
print "<input type=\"submit\" name=\""."select".$i."\" value=\"Select\">;
This will give you a bunch of submit buttons, each with a different name. Then you can cycle through them fairly easily to determine which one was selected.

Hope this helps
