Re: Newbie - Form Submission Question

First of all let me scold you for running Apache and PHP on Windows 9x. The solution would be to make two inputs of type "submit" that have the same name but different values. Then when the form is submitted you check the variable $button_name and execute the relevant code. Hi

Much obliged for the prompt response. I changed the FORM according to your suggestion -- <FORM name="frmlogin" class="login" id="login" method="post" action="log_make.php"> User Name:<INPUT type="text" maxlength="10" tabindex="1" name="username" id="username"> Password:<INPUT type="password" maxlength="10" tabindex="2" name="password" id="password"><BR><BR> <INPUT type="submit" name="butusr" value="Login"> <INPUT type="submit" name="butusr" value="Create"> </FORM> and I coded log_make.php as follows /*BEGIN log_make.php*/ switch($butusr) { case "Login": echo("You Logged in with - ".$username ."&amp;". $password); break; case "Create": echo("Created User with - ".$username ."&amp;". $password); break; } /*END log_make.php*/ :-) It worked right the first time. With regards to my original post, could you kindly give your input on the following -- * Can I remove the attribute "action=log_make.php" and assign individual scripts to each of the buttons? When I tried this the server said I could not do a POST on address/addhome.html. Thanks and Regards theN
