I guess this is v silly but only what i want to do is when submit is clicked then run commands.

so the source below is basically just testing this, if submit is clicked then submitted else not submitted.

At the minute this doesnt work so is there any way i can get this to work. as i can then add more commands on click.

<?

echo '<form name="register" action="'.$_SERVER['MY_SELF'].'" method="post">';
echo "<b><center>Register users</center></b><br>";
echo "<left>Name:</left><br>";
echo '<input type="text" name="txt_name" maxlength="20"><br>';
echo '<left>Surname:</left><br>';
echo '<input name="txt_surname" type="text" maxlength="20"><br>';

echo '<input name "submit" type="submit" value="submit" > ';
echo '<input name "btn_cancel" type="submit" value="Cancel">';
echo '</form>';

if($_POST['submit'] == 'submit')
{
echo 'submitted';
}
else
{
echo 'not submitted';
}

?>

thankyou in advance for the help 😃

You have a problem with the html code actually.
A missing '='
Should be:
echo '<input name="submit" type="submit" value="submit" /> ';
echo '<input name="btn_cancel" type="submit" value="Cancel" />';

The PHP code itself should be:

if (isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['submit'] == 'submit')
{
	echo 'submitted';
}
else
{
	echo 'not submitted';
}

like to thankyou for the help, quick replay i must say record timing :d. ive come accross php before but im on the stage of using repeating forms instead of for actioning to ten different pages :/ which is quite comfusing

just another quick question :/ how can i unset this for another user to submit
i used unset($_POST['submit']) but now its always unset ! any ideas cheers

if (isset($POST['submit']) && $POST['submit'] == 'submit')
{
echo 'submitted';
}
else
{
echo 'not submitted';
}

thanks again

You shouldn't have to unset anything because PHP will handle that for you as soon as the script is done. Variables are "born" and "die" in the very short amount of time the server processes the script.

Other users and use the form over and over (and even at the same time) without any problems.

Does that make sense? Hope so! :-)

yeh thanks ! gave me a insight to understanding whats what.

if ( ($POST['txt_name']) && ($POST['txt_surname']) == "")
{
echo 'not all fields were completed ! please fill all fields thankyou <br><br>';
}
else
{

             }

i didnt finsh the post so i would like to add more to the above

if ( ($POST['txt_name']) && ($POST['txt_surname']) == "")
{
echo 'not all fields were completed ! please fill all fields thankyou <br><br>';
}
else
{
ok go go go
}

where the form

echo '<form name="register" action="'.$_SERVER['MY_SELF'].'" method="post">';
echo "<b><center>Register users</center></b><br>";
echo "<left>Name:</left><br>";
echo '<input type="text" name="txt_name" maxlength="20" value=""><br>';
echo '<left>Surname:</left><br>';
echo '<input name="txt_surname" type="text" maxlength="20" value=""><br>';

BUT the message shows go go go even though there is no entries. but i would if i put a space for the form values and for the == ' ' the message "'not all fields were completed !" is shown.

So it works if a value if inputted but itsnt good when a user inputs data as a white space will be shown before any data is inputted unless they delete.

Is there any way of getting the values which completely == '' to show message please input data !

thankyou for your time

Your "if" line needs a little tweaking...

You want to display the error message if EITHER of the variables are blank, so use || (OR) instead of && (AND). In fact, with PHP, you can use just that... OR or AND. Also, you will need to check the value of the first one.. try something like this:

if (($_POST['txt_name']=='') OR ($_POST['txt_surname']=='')) {

Hope that helps...
