image button not working?

NoRp

ok heres my problem
maybe its more a html problem or a form problem but here goes

this works

<input type=\"submit\" name=\"ok\" value=\"$id\" style=\"color: #003366; width: 100px\">

yet this doesnt? yet it comes up with the correct image and goes to the correct url

<input type=\"image\"  name=\"ok\" value=\"$id\" src=\"images/$pic.JPG\">

anyone got any idea?

i would consider being able to use type="submit" and use my own button image a sucsess

bastien

<INPUT TYPE="image" SRC="button.gif" VALUE="Submit now"
ALT="Submit now" NAME="Submit now">

is the correct syntax which you appear to have. Perhaps it is something in the receiving php page that is causing the problem...

Could you post that code?

NoRp

$query = "SELECT * FROM my_planets WHERE id ='$ok' ";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Invalid query:" .mysql_error() );
$num_rows = MYSQL_NUM_ROWS($result);

the reason i think its not the recieving end of it is the fact that the regular button works fine but the imagae one doesnt?? very very strange ive spent the last 2-3 hours changing every think multiple times and nothing but the same result

ive had somone say something about when u use a image submit button it sends the cordinates where u clicked is there anyway to stop that? and keep it sending the $ok var

Can you show where you access the $id variable coming from the page?

$query = "SELECT * FROM my_planets WHERE owner ='$userName'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Invalid query:" .mysql_error() );
$num_rows = MYSQL_NUM_ROWS($result);

$i=0;
while ($i < $num_rows) {

$id=mysql_result($result,$i,"id");
$owner=mysql_result($result,$i,"owner");
$buildings=mysql_result($result,$i,"buildings");
$pic=mysql_result($result,$i,"pic");

$fontsize="2";



echo "<font face=$font size=$fontsize> <br> Planet $id <br> Planet owner $owner <br> Plant buildings $buildings <br> </font> <br>";
echo "

What I was looking for was something like:

if (isset($_POST['ok'])){

  $id = $_POST['ok'];

}

$sql = "select * from ...";

echo "
<form action=\"planet1.php\" method=\"get\" name=\"MyFormName\"> 
<input type=\"Hidden\" name=\"$id\" value=\"$ok\"> 
</form> 
<a href=\"planet1.php?ok=$id\"><img src=\"images/$pic.JPG\"></a>
";

its ugly and leaves me with a border around the image but atleast its working
how ever im sure theres a much better way any ideas?

/edit

ERM

echo " <a href=\"planet1.php?ok=$id\"><img src=\"images/$pic.JPG\" width=\"116\" height=\"107\" border=\"0\"></a> ";

now i seem to have been able to go around the problem this time but for future referance if somone has a solution that would help alot

border=0 should work for the first example
