Post a submit button values

[geroido]

Hi

Can anyone tell me how to get the 'name' of a submit button. On the next page I want to retrieve whether the user chose 'user' or 'client'. The form method is post.

 

      <TR> <TD><input type="submit" name="user" value="General user"></TD>
      <TD> <input type="submit" name="client" value="Register as a client"></TD></TR></table>

$_POST['client'];

or

$_POST['user'];

Sorry Neil

I want to post the value and assign it to a session variable. How can I do that?

why don't you have the same name for the submit buttons and just have different values and then you can retrieve the value via post, that's the only way i see it

[JonnoTheDev]

$_SESSION['varibleName'] = $_POST['variableName'];

 

replace variableName for whatever post value you want in your session and remember to include session_start() at the top of every file using sessions.
