[SOLVED] Input type="image" Doesn't Work in Opera to Submit Data to PHP?

[spiceydog]

Ok so I have probably the most annoying problem on my hands I have ever run into in my PHP scripting!! I am making a website and the login submit button is a simple <input type="image" etc.> that submits the login form and logs you in! It works in EVERY browser except Opera!!! Well atleast I've tried Safari, Firefox, and Internet Explorer and it worked in all of them just fine...

 

Anyway, the exact code of my input button is:

<input type="image" value="Login" name="submit" src="images/login.jpg">

 

Then at the top of the page is the whole login which includes the "if (isset($_POST['submit']))" and all that good stuff that sets the cookies and logs you in.... So it works in ALL browsers except Opera! WHY?!?! I would post the URL for the website here but since it's not done I really can't....

 

The problem I am getting in Opera: The page basically just refreshes. Nothing is submitted and no cookies are set. The only reason the page refreshes is because the form action tells it to.

what isnt working, it isn't posting, or there's an error?

Oh sorry! guess i forgot to mention that.. It's basically just refreshing the page... Nothing seems to be submitted and no cookies are set. The only reason the page refreshes is because the form action tells it to.

can u post all of ure code

Opera sends the x/y coords of the image that you clicked so you'll need to either add a check for $_POST['submit_x'] and or $_POST['submit_y']

[spiceydog]

I actually was looking into x and y coords causing the problem earlier... i found a simple script but it didnt work and i gave up on that idea... do you know how i would do it?

hi,

 

try

 

if(isset($_POST['submit']) || (isset($_POST['submit_x']) && isset($_POST['submit_y']))) {
    //your code
}

OMG YES IT WORKS!! thank you so much!!!!

 

There was however a slight error with your code. You were missing 2 ('s Heres the fixed version for anyone who copies and pastes that:

if(isset($_POST['submit']) || (isset($_POST['submit_x']) && (isset($_POST['submit_y'])))) {
    //your code
}
