Post method

[Anon]

Hi there ,

<form name="Setup" action = "Settings.php" METHOD="Post">
<select name="User" size="1">
<option value = "User1">user 1</option>
<option value = "User2">user 2</option>
</select>
<INPUT TYPE="Submit" VALUE="Update Current Modules">
<INPUT TYPE="Submit" VALUE="Add Module">
</form>

Is it possible to see in the Settings.php whose Submit I have clicked?

The code below is not working.

<form name="Setup" action = "Settings.php" METHOD="Post">
<select name="User" size="1">
<option value = "User1">user 1</option>
<option value = "User2">user 2</option>
</select>
<INPUT TYPE="Submit" VALUE="Update Current Modules">
</form>
<form name="Add" action = "Addmodule.php" METHOD="Post">
<INPUT TYPE="Hidden" VALUE="<?php echo $Users; ?>">
<INPUT TYPE="Submit" VALUE="Update Current Modules">
</form>

What I wanted to do is selecting a user and have a choice to do two things :
adding or updating but in both cases I needed to know the user that is selected.

Can some-one help me out please ?

Give your submit buttons a NAME. Then you can refer to that name as a variable to determine which button they clicked.

<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submit" VALUE="Add Module">

Once someone clicks that, your script will be able to see that:

$submit == "Add Module"

I have a related question. How can you POST information from a hyperlink instead of a FORM submit button? It's easy enough using the GET method, since you just add a question mark and the variables to the string. i.e. testurl.php3?dog=doberman

Is there a way to accomplish this without it showing up in the URL?

There's no way to do that to my knowledge. You can use cookies or session variables to make data available to different scripts without having to pass the data between them. But as far as I know, the GET method is the only way to pass variables/values along the URL.

Thanks Kenneth this simple suggestion works perfect.
You have to give the submits an name and depending of the name you generate different code.
It is great I can use it this way ,I luv it

You may be able to submit http header data through an HREF without using a form button. I haven't tried this yet, but it looks like a good way to pass data through a hyperlink without it displaying in the URL.

I'll be trying this myself over the weekend.
