multiple submit buttons

[countdrac]

hi, ive looked at a few forums and stuff on this and ive tried everything but i cant get it to work...

 

im trying to use multiple submits either to redirect to another page or even just to get me to the same page but to be able to distinguish which button was pressed (theres a save and a preview)

 

<form action="next.php" method="post">

<input type="text" name="name">

<input type="submit" value="submit" id="submit">

        <input type="submit" value="preview" id="preview">

</form>

 

and then next.php contains:

 

if ($_POST['submit'])

{

echo "test1";

}

else if($_POST['preview'])

{

echo "test2";

}

else

{

echo "broken <br />";

}

 

so when i try to access $_POST['submit'] the whole thing crashes!

thanks for the help

<form action="next.php" method="post">
      <input type="text" name="name">
      <input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit">
      <input type="submit" value="preview" name="preview">
   </form>

 

that code will help you achieve above goal, however, to make it more safe:

if (isset($_POST['submit']))
   {
      echo "test1";
   }
   else if(isset($_POST['preview']))
   {
      echo "test2";
   }
   else
   {
      echo "broken
";
   }
