2 submit buttons?
Hi all,
i am developing a php content management system that adds products
to a database.
i have a form to add product images, titles, text and other info to the database and have done this no problem.
what i want to do is have a preview button next to the submit button
which when clicked will open a preview page of the entered information.
how do i pass the entered text to preview.php without processing the form.
i have done this before with javascript somthing like
var myvar = document.myform.field1.value;
is there a way of doing this with php? the sending these variable to the preview.php page?
cheers in advance for any help.

if(!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']))
{
$target = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$label = 'Back to Previous Page';
}
else
{
$target = 'http://www.yourdomain.com/homepage.php';
$label = 'Back to Home Page';
}
# at this point, either make a button:
echo "<form action='$target' method='post'><input type='submit' value='$label'></form>";
# or make a link:
echo "<a href='$target'>$label</a>";
