RE: How to get information from <input type=image ...>

I've just done some testing and the "Image" type input doesn't seem to pass its anem across as a variable at all when the form is submitted in the way a submit button does. This is contrary to the w3c html specs. I've tested this in nutscrape and micros**t ie5. this is the code that doesn't work: <?php if (isset($fred2)) echo "fred2 set"; // only shows if submit button clicked ?> <form action="#" method="post"> <input type=image name=fred2 src = "done.bmp" value="done0bmp"> <input type=image name=fred2 src = "tetra.bmp" value="minebmp"> <input type=submit name=fred2 value="submit"> </form> Tim Ward Senior Systems Engineer Please refer to the following disclaimer in respect of this message: http://www.stivesdirect.com/e-mail-disclaimer.html > -----Original Message----- > From: Tim Ward > Sent: 22 February 2001 09:07 > To: 'Zenith'; php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: RE: How to get information from <input type=image ...> > > > use isset($action1) and isset($action2) to test each. > > the nice way to do it would be for them to have the same name > but different > values as you would do with alternative submit buttons, but I > haven't ever > needed to find out how to do that and doesn't seem to be > quite that simple. > > Tim Ward > Senior Systems Engineer > > Please refer to the following disclaimer in respect of this message: > http://www.stivesdirect.com/e-mail-disclaimer.html > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Zenith [mailto:zenith@linuxmail.org] > > Sent: 21 February 2001 17:51 > > To: php-general@lists.php.net > > Subject: How to get information from <input type=image ...> > > > > > > Hello everbody, if a have HTML document lik this: > > <form action = "submit_to.php"> > > <input type="image" src="xxx" name="action1"> > > <input type="image" src="xxx" name="action2"> > > </form> > > > > How can know whether the user is pressed on the "action1" or > > "action2" image > > button?? > > > > > > >
