[Resolved] $_POST problem(easy?)

[kikki]

As you can see the code, when the default image button is clicked it should echo those two msgs while hidding the default image button, this doesn't work properly.. any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂

<?
if(isset($_POST['def']))
{
echo "Are you sure you want to set this as your default picture?";
echo '<br><div align="center">';
echo "| Yes | No | buttons comes here";
echo '</div>';
}else{
echo '<form name="def" method="post" action="">
<img src="images/ar1.jpg">Set this picture as : <input name="def" type="image" id="def" src="images/def.jpg" align="middle" border="0">
</form><br>';
}
?>

yes, it doesn't do anything except refreshs the page... It suppose to show those echos that I've wrote there and hide the image button... but it doesn't hide the image button and doesn't show them for some reason.. 😕

I think it's refreshing itself because you havent put an 'action' in the forms attributes :bemused: Not sure though

thanks, but I don't think it's because of the 'action', it's still refreshes, even though there is an action to a php file..

<?
if(isset($_POST['def']))
{
echo "Are you sure you want to set this as your default picture?";
echo '<br><div align="center">';
echo "| Yes | No | buttons comes here";
echo '</div>';
}else{
echo '<form name="def" method="post" action="index.php">
<img src="images/ar1.jpg">Set this picture as : <input name="def" type="image" id="def" src="images/def.jpg" align="middle" border="0">
</form><br>';
}
?>

If this way won't work it's better to tell what I'm up to, I'm trying to move a file from one folder to another with the user's conformation, when the default button is clicked it's should ask are you sure... then if the answer is yes only move the file else do nothing...

Hi,

submit buttons of type image will submit slightly different values (you'll get two POST variables for the image input).

You need to check for name_x or name_y, something like

if(isset($_POST['def_x']) || isset($_POST['def_y'])) 

Hint: add print_r($_POST); to your script to check which keys/values the POST array contains.
