[RESOLVED] how to test if a form was submitted

this is what i'm trying to chieve:

================================
if the form was submitted...

   select * from table where val1=x and val2=somethingelse....

else

   select * from table

================================

my submit button is:
<input type="submit" name="SubmitFilters" value="Search" />

when i press it does a value get flagged? so i could do
if($submit) ...
of do i have to assign the press event to a variable somehow

thanks for ay help!

you could use if($submit)

personally I use if(!empty($POST)) to check for values in the $POST array (assuming you used the POST method for the form)

can i use that with the GET method?

i'm trying

if(!empty($_GET)){
echo "not submitted";
}else{
echo "submitted!";
}

but i'm just getting "not submitted" all the time
?

Have it the wrong way round........

if(!empty($_GET)){
//place code for if form submitted here
}else{
//place code for if form not submitted here
}

great stuff! thanks a lot!
