Re: Self-Process php forms or not?

At most only one button variable is set, which usually is the first button in the HTML, but you have no way to change which will be set. If you use an hidden field is easier to determine whether the form was submitted or not, as you do not have to check variables for all buttons. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Find and post PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/jobs/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/
