Detecting a form button click ?

[Anon]

FILE INDEX.PHP:

<pre>
function RestoreNews()
{
<?php global $restore_news; ?>
<?php $restore_news=1; ?>
document.dataentry.submit(); // calls T2.php
}
.............

<form name="dataentry" method=post action="T2.php">

<input value="Remove-it" type="button" name="restore_news" onclick="RestoreNews()">
</form>
</pre>

FILE T2.PHP

<pre>
function RemoveIt()
{ .......
}
....
echo "$restore_news"; // ALWAYS EMPTY
if (isset($restore_news))
//if (!empty($restore_news))
{
RemoveIt();
return;
}
</pre>

How do I conclude which form button in INDEX.PHP was pressed in the file T2.PHP environment?
The if-clause in T2.PHP never executes...

An easier way to do it is to use a form submit button:
<input type="submit" name="submit1" value="Yes">

Then in T2.php,
if ($submit1 == "Yes") {
echo "You Hit the Yes Button";
}

I think this is what you are looking for...

You could write a hidden input for the form. Something like:

print("<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"action\" value=\"button1\">\n");

then write a catch for it in T2:

if($action == "button1") {
statement();
}
