I have been digging through the documentation for a while, but I can't find
the answer to this ...
If I have a form with multiple submit buttons, how can I tell in PHP which
button was clicked?

Use a switch/case statement;
switch($action)
{
case "Save":
// query to insert saved elements only
$qsave = "UPDATE tblArticle ";
$qsave .= "SET title = '$title', ";
$qsave .= "teaser = '$teaser', ";
$qsave .= "body = '$body' ";
$qsave .= "WHERE ID = '$aid' ";
if(!($dbsave = mysql_query($qsave, $dbconnect))){
print("MySQL reports: " . mysql_error() . "<br>\n");
exit();
}
break;
case "Submit Article":
//query to submit article
$qsubmit = "UPDATE tblArticle ";
$qsubmit .= "SET title = '$title', ";
$qsubmit .= "teaser = '$teaser', ";
$qsubmit .= "body = '$body', ";
$qsubmit .= "type = '$type' ";
$qsubmit .= "WHERE ID = '$aid' ";
if(!($dbsubmit = mysql_query($qsubmit, $dbconnect))){
print("MySQL reports: " . mysql_error() . "<br>\n");
exit();
}
Each of the buttons is named "action" and based on the value the script
processes accordingly.
HTH!
