Submit button display something other than VALUE ?

[Achilles97]

I need to submit something to a script that checks the value of the button, but I don't want the button to display that value.

The script is looking for button="submit", but I want the button to say "Add to Database".

Is that possible? Can I make the button display something other than the "value" ?

Thanks!

With javascript you could maybe get away with it. Easier route would be to set a hidden element and check for that instead of the button.

not really a PHP question since <input> == HTML

however you can PHP a solution to your problem by having the value=Submit and then using PHP to take $post['submit'] and setting its value based on if it was clicked or not....

unless you have something totally odd thought up....

Thanks! That worked.

I just submitted the POST data to my own script, converted the value, then used Javascript to automatically submit it to the external script.

Thanks again.
