RE: [PHP-DB] submitbutton/imagebutton
I'm kind of new to php so there may be an obvious answer but I can't
find it for the moment.
What I want to do is change the 'type=submit' of a submit button to
'type=image' so I can control the looks of the button.
In pure HTML there is of course no problem, the image is still used as a
submit button but... the submit type is being passed on to a php script
( ...if ($submit) {...) that makes a qeary to a mysql database. When I
change the type=submit to type=image the script doesn't pick up the
submit value anymore, so nothing happens.
Am I overlooking something or is it just something that doesn't work?
IIRC you have to use something like $submit_x $submit_y, which is a bit
more longwinded.
Since I have started using buttons for submit, I now put a hidden field
called formname inside each form,and chekc for that and that the method of
the form is correct.
It makes it a little bit easier if you have more than one form per page.

Look at the PHP FAQ, it's a great place to start:

7.13. I'm trying to use an input type=image tag, but the $foo.x and
$foo.y variables aren't available. Where are they?
When submitting a form, it is possible to use an image instead of the
standard submit button with a tag like:
input type=image SRC=image.gif NAME=foo
When the user clicks somewhere on the image, the accompanying form will be
transmitted to the server with two additional variables: foo.x and foo.y.
Because $foo.x and $foo.y are invalid variable names in PHP, they are
automagically converted to $foo_x and $foo_y. That is, the periods are
replaced with underscores.
/quote
So basically, instead of checking for $submit, do something like:
... if (isset($submit_x)) { ...

No, with an image, the value captured are the coordinates x and y above the
image this means that if your variable is called submit, the two variables
$submit_x and $submit_y are set.
