Re: MULTIPLE SUBMIT BUTTONS

There is no var named SUBMIT. You have defined SUBMIT1 and SUBMIT2 in your form. NAME= will be the var name VALUE= will be the value of that var. Try these: <INPUT TYPE=IMAGE SRC="../../../IMAGES/EMPLOYEE_MNGR/BUTTON/SAVECLOSE1.GIF" NAME="SUBMIT1" VALUE="Save and Close"> <INPUT TYPE=IMAGE SRC="../../../IMAGES/EMPLOYEE_MNGR/BUTTON/SAVE1.GIF" NAME="SUBMIT2" VALUE="Save"> next page: echo $_POST['SUBMIT1']; //with register_globals on could be $SUBMIT1 echo $_POST['SUBMIT2']; //with register_globals on could be $SUBMIT2 -Shawn "Dale" <DaleHersh@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:20030510181056.28738.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > Thank you for some help but I am still having some problems: > > I am probably doing something stupid, but I can't seem to find what I am > doing wrong: > > Here is a little bit of the code: > > > > FORM1.PHP: > > > > <TABLE cellpadding="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> > > <TR> > > <TD > width="500"></TD> > > <TD> > > > <INPUT TYPE=IMAGE SRC="../../../IMAGES/EMPLOYEE_MNGR/BUTTON/SAVECLOSE1.GIF" > NAME="SUBMIT1" VALUE="SUBMIT"> > > > </TD> > > <TD > WIDTH="5"></TD> > > <TD> > > > <INPUT TYPE=IMAGE SRC="../../../IMAGES/EMPLOYEE_MNGR/BUTTON/SAVE1.GIF" > NAME="SUBMIT2" VALUE="SUBMIT"> > > > </TD> > > </TR> > > </TABLE> > > > > VERIFY1.PHP: > > echo $_POST['SUBMIT']; > > echo $SUBMIT; > > > > For some reason, nothing appears on the page: verify1.php.
