RE: multiple submit buttons

As far as any CGI is concerned there is only one submit, The one that is pressed. The other one is simply not posted. But be careful using values of submit buttons ... if the user hits return instead of clicking one of the buttons you won't get anything. If you want a default value try a hidden field before the submits with same name.

I was just about to test this, when I realised that (from what I can tell) multiple submits are not supported by CGI spec. So, even if it works on my browser/platform/server/php combination, can I be sure it'll work faithfully on all environments? Should I be worried about what the browser sends, or what PHP does with it, etc etc? Has anyone doen some serious testing on this? Good or bad stories? Justin French
