how do i get value from image type of a button?

pn00b

In my HTML i have the image type of a submit button but i dont seem to get the value of the button.

<html>
<head>
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myform" action = "wala.php" method = "post">
<input type="image" src="image1.png" name="buttonsend" value = "button1">
<input type="image" src="image2.png" name="buttonsend" value = "button1">
</form>
</body>
</html>

wala.php:

<?php

if(isset($_POST['buttonsend']))
{
	if($_POST['buttonsend']=='button1')
	{
		print "You have clicked save button"."<br>";
	}

if($_POST['buttonsend']=='button2'){
	print "You have clicked search button";
}
}
?>

I'm always getting "You have clicked save button" no matter which button i clicked.

Any Idea how to get the value of the image type button?

you could always change the name attribute of the image/submit button. only the button that you click is going to show in the post array

<form method="post" action="./">
    <input type="submit" name="button1" value="1" />
    <input type="submit" name="button2" value="1" />
</form>

<?
if( isset($_POST['button1']) ){
	echo 'button1 was clicked';
}else{
	echo 'button2 was clicked';
}
?>

My first suggestion would be to use a regular submit button and instead use CSS to make it look like an image.

Otherwise, you're at the mercy of the browser and whether or not it follows W3C standards (in other words, it doesn't have the word "Microsoft" anywhere in its title 😉). Try doing a [man]print_r/man on the $_POST array to see what type of elements you're getting back when the image is clicked.
