I would simply check whether $_POST is empty(), if it isn't, assume form submitted then do further tests/processing. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * -- Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general -- /* He who is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else. */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Re: Checking for form submission
Ok, in simple form - If the submit button was clicked,
If some one hits enter this would be a problem, easy way to resolve
this would be to have a hidden form element flagged and to terst for that
instead of the
submit button, wouldnt you agree Jason?

This is not reliable, some browsers does not set the submit button if it was
not explicitly clicked on. Even some big name free webmail providers fall
into this trap of just checking for the submit button rather than checking
the form as a whole.

[PHP] Re: Checking for form submission
Hi Shaun,
Your expression is evaluating, if you like does the $_POST superglobal
exist and it does
but might be empty, this would be the same for $_GET and other superglobals.
If you did the following:
if (isset($_POST) && !empty($_POST)) {
echo '(isset($_POST))';
}
This would only appear if there was in fact a $_POST variable 'set'.
If you want to test to see if a form has been submitted, I would suggest
that you
use the name from the submit button.
e.g -
if(isset($_POST['sendform'])){
echo "Form has been submitted!";
}
So basically this checks if the form button "sendform" is set.
HTH,
Craig
