[SOLVED] Submitting with 2 buttons while using all inputs on form

[jeffjohnvol]

Can anyone advise how I can have a form, with 2 submit buttons that pass a different parameter that I can use?  In otherwords, I want one button that I can act on a "preview" and one that can act on a "upload".   I don't know how to tell in my "post" logic which button was hit.

 

Each function requires all of the "post" values (inputs) of the form.  I could use two fake buttons as images and a url, but I would have to have all the parms on the url link, wouldn't I?

 

Thanks in advance.

Just name your buttons differently and process them accordingly:

<input type="submit" name="preview" value="preview" />

then

if ($_POST['preview'])
{
// do something for preview
}

<?php

if ($_POST['submit1']) {
	echo "You hit Submit 1";
}
if ($_POST['submit2']) {
echo "You hit Submit 2";
}

?>
<form method="POST">
<input type='submit' name="submit1" value="Submit 1">
<input type='submit' name="submit2" value="Submit 2">
</form>

If you wanted to get a little more fancy you could use ajax too.  I'd recommend xajax http://xajaxproject.org/.

Thanks all.  I knew it must have been simple.  :-)
