Hi everyone,

If I add a button in my php project, and I want on the press of this button to do an action what is the php code for that?
If I used switch-case statment as follows

switch ($x)
{
case "z":
action
}

what values do I put in x and z??

All the thanks

Are you wanting to do somthing on the very same page based on the click of the button. Cause if so you will need to know javascript. It would look somthing like <input type=submit value=submit name=submit onClick=dosomthing>
Or if you have another page that is reading any hidden elements in the form then a switch would be fine to do what u need to do.

Yes...

1). Give the submit button a name like submit.
2). Make the form action $PHP_SELF
3). Then code your page something like this:

<?
if($submit)
{
//do delete query here
}

//rest of page here
?>
