on submit....

[ajicles]

I am trying to make my website submit a file when the submit button is pressed. I tried to use isset but when I press submit it doesn't work.

 

This is just an example of when I am trying to do:

<?php

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
echo "clicked";
}
else
{
echo "not_clicked";
}

?>

<form  id="myform" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="test.php" method="POST">
<input type="submit" value="Upload" />

</form>

You have no form element named 'submit'.

 

<form  id="myform" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="test.php" method="POST">
  <input type="hidden" name="submit">
  <input type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>

Do something following.

<?php
if (isset($_POST['SubmitMe']) && $_POST['SubmitMe'] == 1){
echo "clicked";
} else{
echo "not_clicked";
}
?>

<form  id="myform" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="test.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="SubmitMe" value="1">
<input type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>

or just do <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload" /> so you wont have to add a hidden line

Some browser won't send that information. It's safe to use the hidden form or check for a field you know exists.
