You need to
a) give each button a name and check via isset(), or
b) give each button a name of, say, sub[] and check the value of
$_POST['sub'][0]
c) you could use something like
$inc = "init";
if(isset($_POST['sub'])) $inc = $_POST['sub'][0];
include("inludefile_$inc.inc");
then you need:
inludefile_init.inc
inludefile_Chart.inc
inludefile_Play.inc
holding the scripts for each function
Here's an example for in-line code:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['sub']))
{
switch($_POST['sub'][0])
{
case "Chart":
echo "Here's your chart...";
break;
case "Play":
echo "So you want to play, huh?";
break;
default:
}
}
else
{
?>
<form action="index.php" method="post">
<input value=100 name=userbankroll length="20"> Bankroll.<br>
<input value=5 name=profit length="20"> Profit on a win.<br>
<input value=2 name=startingunit length="20"> Beginning wager.<br>
<p>
<input type="reset"><br>
<input type="submit" name="sub[]" value="Chart"><br>
<input type="submit" name="sub[]" value="Play"><br>
</p>
</form>
<?php
}
?>
