form objects

[7m25]

hi there! am new to php and i need help. how can i process form objects through images/links and not through submit buttons? ALSO, would it be possible for a submit button to have several values in its attributes (s.a. name='', value='')? if yes, how? i really need a response.... many thanks!!🙂

You don't add more variables to the button, add them to the action= of the form. The button just passes a variable that is designated by the name= element.

<form action=index.php?var1=$var1&var2=$var2 method=post>

For the button
<input type=image name=submit value=images/image.gif border=0>

The tidier approach to extra values is to use hidden form elements <input type="hidden">; this also makes them easier to get to if you want the browser to be able to adjust them with Javascript.

As for image input elements, note what it says in the manual about how an <input type="image"> entity actually produces two name-value pairs, representing the x and y image coordinates of the point clicked.
