I am trying to used two buttons to do two different things.

[jgarland]

One more question. I am trying to used two buttons to do two different things. My current code both of the buttons do the same thing, but when I remove the submit hidden value my delete row button does what I want it to do. What can I do to make both buttons work when both hidden values are in the code?

Thanks!

Different problem moved to different thread for the benefit of other users.

    if(($_POST['submitted'])){

You changed this (correctly) to [font=monospace]if(isset($_POST['submitted'])){[/font] but you've reverted it back.

If you have two submit buttons, you can distinguish which one was clicked by looking at the submitted value. Or naming them differently and seeing which one appears in the [font=monospace]$_POST[/font] array (at the moment you don't name them at all). Then the two hidden fields following them aren't needed.

Also, you might want to check the HTML source you're generating: there seem to be some mismatched tags and other validation errors in there.

Thanks for your help. I should of figured that out.
