isset and image buttons

[Anon]

Hello,

I am trying to unravel a poorly coded and undocumented php app.

There is are numerous tests along the lines of:
elseif ( isset($save_quote) || isset($login))

If the submit button is a standard submit button, the program will pass the isset test and move along to where it should go <b>but</b> if I change them to image buttons (input type=button src=etc...), the test fails.

Has anyone ever dealt with this and/or can you suggest a work around?

Thanks,
-Andrew

You are doing a test of the submit button type?

I assume that means you are passing the input type as a variable and then testing that variable.

Something like this ?

$submit_type = "image";

if ($submit_type == "image") {
echo "Submit type is an image":
}
if ($submit_type == "submit") {
echo "Submit type is an HTML button";
}

Is that essentially what you are doing?

Actually, the "isset" is (supposedly) the test so it would be looking for whether or not the "whatever" named button was clicked.

The button (not working) is:
(input type=button src=button.gif name=whatever value=whatever)

It <u>works</u> when I have:
(input type=submit name=whatever value=whatever)

Change it to this ...

input type=image src=button.gif name=whatever value=whatever

Sorry, I misstyped. What is there is:
input type=image src=button.gif name=whatever value=whatever

[Anon]

Instead of doing isset, make your if like this..

if ($whatever == "whatever") {
}

David,

Thanks for your help! I had thought from my readings that that would be the best but figured the "professionals" who coded the application knew what they were doing!
