Non-button Submit to SELF

Anon

How do I know if the form was processed using an anchor-submit rather than a button-submit?

Here's my test code:
<?php
if ($process) echo "I've been processed!";
?>
<HEAD><TITLE>Non-button Submit to SELF</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM name="process" method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>"
<br />Type anything:<input type="text" name="description" size="10"><a href="javascript:document.process.submit()">Process</a>
</FORM>
</BODY>

Thanks
Mark

Mark,

You could test the description input box to see if it has been posted. If $description is not set then your form has not been processed

eg/

<?php
if (isset($description)) echo "I've been processed!";
?>
<HEAD><TITLE>Non-button Submit to SELF</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM name="process" method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>">
Type anything:<input type="text" name="description" size="10"><a href="javascript:document.process.submit()">Process</a>
</FORM>
</BODY>

Hope this helps

Mike

Thanks for the suggestion. I've decided to put a value-set hidden field in the form and to test for that.
