Calling A Function Using A Form - REVISED

[jeff_lawik]

Hello - thanks for viewing:

Here's what I want to accomplish: The problem I am having/trying to avoid, is I don't want query_update to execute when the page is loaded. Rather, I would like it to execute after the form is submitted which will also provide the function with the required variables for a sucessful update.

Thanks For The Help! Jeff

$variable = jeff;
$record_id = MSFT;
          print "
          <form action=\"runUpdate\" method=\"POST\">
          Company Name
          <input type=\"text\" name=\"input\">
          <input type=\"submit\" value=\"Update Record\" class=\"pushbutton\"></form>";

function Update()
{
          $query_update = mysql_query( "UPDATE market_research SET company_name = '$input' WHERE symbol = '$record_id'" );
          if ( $query_update )
            {
            print "SUCCESS";
            }
          else
            {
            print "ERROR";
            }
}

...but I suppose what you want to do is name your submit button, then check if that variable is defined.

For the form:
<input type="submit" name="submit">

and then the code:
if(isset($_POST["submit"])) Update();
