[SOLVED] input image problem

[Goose87]

Dear all,

 

I have a problem with a login script I am improving.  At the moment I am using a type='submit' button with CSS styling, but I want to change this and add an image.  I found on the internet that you can have type='image', but I can't get the button to submit.  It just loads up the action='login.php'.

 

The code I am using is:

 

<form method='post' action='login.php' name='auto_login'>
<input type='text' size='20' maxlength='20' name='username' class='textfield2' value='username'>
 
<input type='password' size='20' maxlength='20' name='password' class='textfield2' value='password'>
 
<input type="image" src="images/login_button.jpg" value="Submit" alt="Submit" name="top_submit" />
</form>

 

Then when I want to see if the button is pressed I have:

 

if(isset($_POST['top_submit'])){

echo "BUTTON PRESSED";

}

 

but the text never appears. 

 

Does anyone have any ideas?  As I am pretty stuck on this

 

Thanks in advance to everyone who helps me.

The problem you're having is one I've experienced before, the submit button seems to sometimes pass itself into post and sometimes not. Try adding:

 

<input type="hidden" name="formsubmit" value="login" />

 

Then at the top of login.php add:

 

<?php
if (isset($_POST['formsubmit']) && ($_POST['formsubmit'] == 'login')) {
    echo 'Button Pressed!';
}
?>

Brilliant, that works

 

Thanks a lot for helping me with that I can now release my new login script!
