Multiple submit buttons and checkboxes

[ciarlatano]

Hello!
I would like to know how to have 3 submit buttons corresponding to different actions in a form and how these can be binded to the values of checkboxes of a recordset.
What I mean is that I want have three actions available ; these actions are controlled by 3 separate submit buttons and they are executed only on those records that have their checkbox checked e.g. when I press on let's say "DELETE" button I want to get deleted only the checked records...

Thank you in advance for any information you may kindly provide me with

When you click a submit button, it will add the name of that button to the $_POST vars. So if you had 3 submit buttons with the names of A, B, and C, and when you click on button A, only that variable will be set in the post vars along with the "checkboxes" that were checked. So depending on which button was pressed, you can test which one was actually clicked by checking if that post var isset() or you can even set the names of the buttons the same and then determine which button was pressed by the value of it.

For example,

<input type=submit name=action value=add> <input type=submit name=action value=delete> <input type=submit name=action value=cancel>

if someone clicked on the add button, you can determine it by this.

if( $_POST["action"] == 'add' )
{ do a process }

Hope this helps.
