I would think the easiest way is to name them all *different* things, so you can freely change the text in the buttons (for languages, etc.) without killing functionality. So: <input type=submit name=save_close value="Save & Close"> <input type=submit name=save_new value="Save & New"> <input type=submit name=save_redirect value="Save & Redirect"> <input type=submit name=save_only value="Save"> then in PHP: if ($_POST['save_close']) { ... } else if ($_POST['save_new']) { ... } else if ($_POST['save_redirect']) { ... } else if ($_POST['save_only']) { ... } p > > type=submit name=submit value=close > type=submit name=submit value=new > etc.. > > Next page, > > switch($_POST['submit']) { > case "close": > etc... > > HTH > -Shawn > > "Dale" <DaleHersh@hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:20030510165427.82269.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > > Hi, > > I have read the section in the online manual on how to access variables > > outside of php, but I am still have problems with the current situation: > > > > I have a form that has multiple submit buttons: > > > > 1. save & close > > 2. save & new > > 3. save & redirect > > 4. save > > > > Each of these buttons will need to call the same save function, but after > > the data from the form has been saved, each button will have a unique > task. > > How do I access the name of the submit button in php.
