using an image for submit button in forms

lucilue2003

Hello,

contactus.php:

..
..
<INPUT type=image src="../images/submit.gif" width=68 height=29 border=0 alt="Send">

thankyoup.php:
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["submit"])) {
....
}

my problem is that if i use the image for submit, then it never goes into the if conditional.

however, if i use <input type="submit" Name="submit" value="Send"> then it works fine.

can you help me in getting an image there to work. thanks.

Hi,

you need to give the image input the name "submit" in this case:

The value of name is used as index in the $_POST/$HTTP_POST_VARS array.

<html><head><title></title><body>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</SCRIPT>
<?php
if (isset($POST["submit"])) {
$msg .= "Name :".$POST["cname"]."\n";
$msg .= "Name of Company :".$POST["compname"]."\n";
$msg .= "Telephone:".$POST["phone"]."\n";

$msg .= "Website:".$POST["website"]."\n";

$msg .= "Message :".$POST["message"]."\n";

$from = "From: " . $_POST["email"];
mail("myemail@yahoo.com","Request a quote",$msg,$from);
echo " <strong><div align=\"center\">Your message was successfully sent.</div></strong>\n";
}
?>

Ok,

my fault. In case of image inputs you'll not get submit but submit_x and submit_y.

So try

if (isset($_POST['submit_x'])) {
....
