knowing what button was pressed

[hwttdz]

Given a set of buttons, how do I know what button was pressed.

[enter1] [enter2] [enter3] [enter4]

If the user presses one of the buttons how can I tell what button was pressed. They are all submit type buttons.

give each one a unique name and then check to see which of the names is set, or check for the values of the button name to see which one.

<form action= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']
//form elements here...
<input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"submit form\">
<input type=\"submit\" name=\"resetform\" value=\"reset form\">
</form>

once submit is clicked, I use isset to check their values like the person in the last post indicated..

if(isset($POST['resetform']))
$POST=array(); //resets all values in the $_POST array

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
//your code to handle the submitted form elements here...

hope this helps..

Would not resetting all values in the $_post array prevent the second if statement there from working?

How does one check the value of a button? Where is the data being stored when a button is pressed?

Well no because if you hit the submit button then the reset button remains unset and will not pass the IF check. Therefore the POST array remains populated.

You can of course put the IF submit first but it makes no difference.
