php submission buttons

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 19.2005

I have 3 submit buttons to do different operations on my php form. Looks like I can have only one submission button a form. Does any body know how can I Differentiate between the buttons? For example one button is:

[CODE]<input type=”submit” name=”btnEdit” value=”Edit”>[/CODE]

I tried the following code but that didn’t work. Hope someone more experiences than me can help me.

[CODE]If ($_POST[“btnEdit”] = “Edit”);
…..
[/CODE]

Perhaps a syntax issue? No capitalization of the word "if", single equal sign is wrong, and semicolon is wrong for the end of the if condition line. That should be either an opening brace or a colon.
[code=php]
if ($_POST["btnEdit"] == "Edit"):
...
endif;
[/code]

@gameguy43Mar 19.2005 — i would change the type on the buttons to "button" instead of "submit". Try that other dude's fixed and this one and see what happens

The problem with using the "button" type is that the form won't sumbit with it and, then, you have to use JavaScript to get the form to submit. If JavaScript is disabled, then your page is broken.

Success!
