Form Submit

[jazappi]

If I have a form with two submit buttons, one to add data to one table the other to add data to a diffrent table, is there a way to have php look at which button was clicked to determain which query insert to run?

I hope that makes sense feel free to ask questions. Thanks for any help in advance.

I would use javascript to set a hidden html input a value - depending on which button was pressed.

Then check the $_POST variable to find out which button was pressed.

You could also name your submit button, then treat it like any other form control.

To follow on from laserlight's post, it is good practice to give unique and meaningfull names to ALL form and input elements. I've seen people post scripts here with 20 checkboxes all named the same and they wonder why their php, javascript or whatever can't tell which box has been ticked??
