Because when the submit button is clicked, the button becomes succesfull (official term) and the name/value pair is sent in the request. also why doesnt the ?php echo($PHP_SELF); work??? thanx in advance.

RE: [PHP] using submit button and PHP-HELP
thanx for your help, Ive got flu and all these small things seem to be
escaping my eyes. I just want to ask you a small question:
If i want this page to submit to itself and I want to test for it, would I
go about it like this:
?
if (Request == $reqPaper)
{
}
?
if my submit button code looks like this:
input type=submit name=reqPaper value=Request
or is there a better way of testing this?

Hi
You might like to try something like $REQUEST_URI rather than $PHP_SELF, if
you want to keep the existing parameters. However, in forms, it's better to
redeclare them, so in your case, you'd want to add an input type=hidden
name=ID value=\$ID\

Hi,
I have a form that has a submit button in it, when the button is pressed I
want it to reload the same page, with the same URL, however when I click
on
the submit button, the URL that it produces is http://whatever.php? then
the
name of my submit button = value for example:
form action=?php echo($PHP_SELF); ? type=post
input type=checkbox value= . $ID . name=
Request this abstract!
input type=submit value=Request name=reqPaper
/form
this gives a URL of:
http://localhost/ebLatest/indpaper.php?reqPaper=Request
instead of the previous URL that was .php?ID=110
What I want to know is why the name and value of the submit button are
being
displayed in the URL?
also why doesnt the ?php echo($PHP_SELF); work???
thanx in advance.
Angelo
