If I understand correctly, you have one form with four buttons.
In that case you have to use javascript to perform a different task based on which button is clicked.
It could be as simple or as complex as you wish.

<form>

<!-- blah blah -->


<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Update Record">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Delete Record">

</form>

elsewhere in your script...

if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['submit'] == 'Update Record') { 

// do stuff

}

if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['submit'] == 'Delete Record') { 

// do other stuff

}

Wouldn't:

<form>

<!-- blah blah -->


<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Update Record">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Delete Record">

</form>

<?php

if ($submit == "Update Record") {
   // code here

else if ($submit == "Delete Record") {
  // code here
            }
}
?>

also work?

Sure, if register_globals is on and $submit being !isset doesn't cause your script to barf (it might!).

[Radon3k]

Even if register_globals is off you could still use an if/else if statement, can you not? That's what I was getting at. Sorry, I should have made that part more clear. 🙂

Lots of ways to skin Garfield. 🙂

<?php
$submit = $HTTP_POST_VARS['submit'];

if (!isset($submit)) {
?>

<form>
<!-- blah blah -->
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add Record">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Search Record">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Update Record">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Delete Record">
</form>

<?
} else {
  switch ($submit) {
      case 'Add Record':
          dostuff();
      case 'Search Record':
          dostuff();
      case 'Update Record':
          dostuff();
      case 'Delete Record':
          dostuff();
  }
}
?>

hmm..I think I'll stick with one of the earlier described ways. 🙂
