Submit buttons are form elements (whose value is submitted when the button is clicked), just like any other form field. So I have something like this: <INPUT NAME="submit" TYPE="submit" Value=" Click Here! "> In my PHP code, I check the value of $submit; if it's empty, I know the form data hasn't been submitted yet (if it had, $submit would have the value " Click Here! "), so in that case I display the form. If it does not have an empty value, the user has clicked the submit button, so I can go ahead processing the form data. Like this: if ( empty($submit) ) { ### Display the form } else { ### Do some checks to make the the data is OK ### Do the Insert, or whatever else is to be done } - Darryl ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Darryl Friesen, B.Sc., Programmer/Analyst Darryl.Friesen@usask.ca Education & Research Technology Services, http://gollum.usask.ca/ Department of Computing Services, University of Saskatchewan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes"
