Re: MULTIPLE SUBMIT BUTTONS

Depends on what you name your buttons. Easiest way is to name all of them the same and assign different values and then check that var name on the next form. type=submit name=submit value=close type=submit name=submit value=new etc.. Next page, switch($_POST['submit']) { case "close": etc...
