Re: multiple submit buttons

Not necessarily, you can do this ... Assign values to the variables holding the button value, e.g. $Add="Add", but it could be $Add="Ajoutez!" Define your buttons in the form this way: <input type = \"submit\" name = \"action[]\" value= \" $Add \" > <input type = \"reset\" name = \"action[]\" value= \" $Clear \" > <input type = \"submit\" name = \"action[]\" value= \" $Cancel \" > <input type = \"submit\" name = \"action[]\" value= \" $Update \" > And then process actions they trigger this way: if( isset( $action[0] ) ) { switch( $action[0] ) { case "$Add": echo "Add User"; ChkUsernameUnique() ChkEmptyFields() ChkEmailOK() ChkPhoneOK() // Appropriate message break; case "$Clear": // no need to do anything break; case "$Cancel": //code goes here break; case "$Update": echo "Update User"; ChkEmptyFields() ChkEmailOK() ChkPhoneOK() // set message / prepare SQL break; } } $Add through $Update are assigned values before the form definition, and the case's following the switch() statement just check for content. You can substitute any text at any time, even change languages. Try it.
