should be simple...but won't work

[bmarker]

The following code will only work with an input type submit, and not with an image type. WHY!!!! I have added javascript to give a value to submit, I have kept the name there... I have submitted via javascript still nothing. WHAT AM I MISSING!
PLEASE HELP!

<?php 
include(DIR_DOMAIN_CHECK . 'server_list.php');
include(DIR_DOMAIN_CHECK . 'whois_class.php');
// error_reporting(E_ALL);
$my_whois = new Whois_domain;
$my_whois->possible_tlds = array_keys($servers); // this is the array from the included server list

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
	$my_whois->tld = $_POST['tld'];
	$my_whois->domain = $_POST['domain'];
	$my_whois->free_string = $servers[$_POST['tld']]['free'];
	$my_whois->whois_server = $servers[$_POST['tld']]['address'];
	$my_whois->whois_param = $servers[$_POST['tld']]['param'];
	if ($my_whois->process()) {
		print "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0; URL=domainResult.php?domainInfo=$my_whois->domain&tld=$my_whois->tld'>";  

}
}
?>
<img src = "images/horizontal_line.gif" vspace = "5">

        <td><?php echo $my_whois->create_tld_select(); // this method generates the select menu woth all tld's ?></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>

Hi,

if you submit a form with an image input then the only reliable post variables are <name>x and <name>y (in your case submit_x and submit_y).

Firefox additionally posts a variable with the name itself (in your case submit) if the value property of the input is set. Internet explorer only sends the x and y variables.

You can easily check that by adding print_r($_POST) to your code.

Change your script to check for submit_x or submit_y.
