Hello, Probably a stupid one but anyway... In PHP. Is it possible to point to a variable with the HTML form name by which it was posted from? Example: //point to the variable with something like or somenthing??? $AddNew.SomeVar <form name="AddNew" method="post" action="<? $PHP_SELF ?>"> $SomeVar = "Add"; </form> <form name="DeleteOld" method="post" action="<? $PHP_SELF ?>"> $SomeVar = "Del"; </form> Or do I just have name the variables uniquely? Thanks -Will

-Will: Sure, you're almost there, just make a hidden variable $whichform and use it like so: <form name="AddNew" method="post" action="<? $PHP_SELF ?>"> <input type="hidden" name="whichform" value="add" > </form> <form name="DeleteOld" method="post" action="<? $PHP_SELF ?>"> <input type="hidden" name="whichform" value="del" > </form> HTH's tedd -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://sperling.com
