Different buttons submitting different values

[dave_m123]

Hi guys,

I'm having a problem with a page I am building. How it works is like this:

On the page before I redirect to this php file along with a variable in the url like this - photoadmin1.php?id=1 (id refers to a stock item.

Now on photoadmin1.php this page lets you upload files using a file field and submit button and this works fine. However above this I have code that generates thumbnails for all photographs related to this stock item and underneath it echoes the filename and also adds a delete button for every photograph

Now i'd like it so when you hit the delete button it deletes that particular item but I'm not entirely sure how to go about this. I'd like it to redirect the url to something like photoadmin1.php?id=1&photoid=1 and then run code based on if photoid is empty or not. However I cant seem to figure out how to get it to submit 2 values in a url using a new form (the first form outputs like this and works fine -

<form id="form2"form action="<?php echo ($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?id=".$stockID); ?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

I may need to approach this from a different angle. Any feedback would be much appreciated

Thanks for any help you can provide...

Dave

I'm not sure that I completely understand your question. If you are using a button to delete an image, I would suggest using a hidden form field with a dynamic value to hold the id.

Something like this?...

<form action="" method="post">
<input type="submit" name="smbtn" value="val1" />
<input type="submit" name="smbtn" value="val2" />
</form>
<?php
if( isset( $_POST['smbtn'] ) )
{
	if( $_POST['smbtn'] == 'val1' )
		echo 'Value 1';
	elseif( $_POST['smbtn'] == 'val2' )
		echo 'Value 2';
}
?>

Sorry guys I may not have made my post clear so I'll provide some code to clarify things. OK this is the code I'm using for the upload section:

<form id="form2"form action="<?php echo ($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?id=".$stockID); ?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <label>
 <h2> <div align="center">
   <p><br />Please choose an image file to upload : </p>
<p align="center">
                <input name="srcfile" type="file" size="50"/>
              </p>
  			  <p align="center">
                <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload" />
              </p>
   <p><a href="admin.php">Return to Admin Page</a></p>
 </div>
  </h2>
  </label>
</form>

This works perfect however I think in the form line at the very top may cause problems with this next section which is designed to show a thumbnail, filename and delete button for every photo that may be assigned to this particular photograph:

<form id="form1"form action="<?php ($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?id=".$stockID."&photoid=".$photoid);?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<td><table width=\"200\" border=\"1\" align=\"center\">
<tr>
		<?php $photoresult = $connector->query("SELECT * FROM photos WHERE stockid = '$stockID' ORDER BY photoid ASC");
		while ($row = $connector->fetchArray($photoresult)){
		$photoid = $row['photoid'];
            echo "<td height=\"236\"><p align=\"center\"><img src=\"images\products\\".$row['photolink']."\"alt=\"\" height=\"75\" /></p>";
              echo "<p align=\"center\">".$row['photolink']."</p>";
            echo "<p align=\"center\">";
                echo "<label>";
                echo "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"delbutton\" id=\"delbutton\" value=\"Delete\" />";
                echo "</label>";
            echo "</p></td>";
		}
		?>
</tr>
</table></td>
</form>

I get the feeling that I'm doing it completely the wrong way and should it look at it from another way. The while loop works ok but after that I don't know how to pass an extra variable to the url along with the $id variable if you click on the delete buttons.

Thanks again 🙂

Alright, this is my first post... And I am a PHP Noob...here it goes:

Here is an example of something similar using a parts inventory theme and a checkbox.

echo "<form method=\"post\" action=\"delform.php\">
<h4>Item List:</h4> <table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"2\"> <tr>
<th align=\"center\">Item</th>
<th align=\"center\">Description</th>
<th align=\"center\">Owner</th>
<th align=\"center\">Delete</th>
</tr>";
while (odbc_fetch_ROW($result1)) {
$item1=odbc_result($result1,"productcode");
$desc1=odbc_result($result1,"DESCRIPTION");
$own1=odbc_result($result1,"OWNER");

echo "<tr>
<td align=\"center\">$item1</td>
<td align=\"center\">$desc1</td>
<td align=\"center\">$own1</td>
<td align=\"center\"><div align =\"center\"><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"Delete[]\" value=\"$item1\">
</td></tr>";

}

echo "<tr>
<td align=\"center\"></td>
<td align=\"center\"></td>
<td align=\"center\"></td>
<td align=\"center\" table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\"></select> <input type =\"submit\" name =\"submit\" value=\"Delete!\"> </form> </div></td>
</tr>
</table>";

If you don't want a check box use a hidden form field as suggested above by djheru:

echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"photoid\" value=\"$photoid\">";
