RE: [PHP] Form with 2 submit buttons

Hi, I was doing something like this, but then I wanted to do some server side error validation. I think I'll end up doing it this way, as I can't see any other way to get around it. Why is it that when I have a submit button declared as: <INPUT type=submit name="btnSubmit" value="Submit Query"> When I hit the "Enter" key, $btnSubmit = "" and if I press the button with the mouse, $btnSubmit = "Submit Query". How do you get around that?
