[RESOLVED] Form button & image

Bob_PHP_Builder

Hello,

FORM BUTTON question

Originally i have used the value tag to determine which button has been processed. However know i need to use images on the form buttons so i think the value tag is not usable. does anyone know a way which both allows me to POST a value from a image button?

Ive created a form button (INPUT TYPE= IMAGE) and added a image to this. However i need to have a value for this particualar input type as based on which button is selected makes different results...

Would anyone know a way of allowing a value to be posted and keep my image button?

<imput type="image" name="submit" value="delete" scr="delete.gif" height="20" width="20" border="0" alt="delete">

Regards

Also this is a IE problem. Firefox will accept the above code

A good tutorial would also help- multiple image upload buttons on one form. i have found zero good ones

Give them different names.

Thanks for the reply,

ive tried naming each form submit button differently. However how do i get the name and not the value? whenever i try posting, it will only display values and not names.. so i haven't been able to determine what the name of the submit button is

If i understand what you are asking, then here is a very basic code example to help illustrate the point Weedpacket is making:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['delete']))
{
	echo 'you want to delete something...';
}
elseif(isset($_POST['save']))
{
	echo 'you want to save it instead';
}
?>
<form action="<?php echo htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], ENT_QUOTES); ?>" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="1" />
<input type="submit" name="delete" value="Delete" />
<input type="submit" name="save" value="Save" />
</form>
