I have 2 submit buttons on a single form both with different values.

Code

htmlPageSelect('header'); $dat[5999999]['title'] = '<input type="submit" name="myfirstbutton" value="Go!" /><input type="submit" name="mysecondbutton" value="Go!" />';        htmlPageSelect('row',$dat);    htmlPageSelect('footer');

according to this thread (and some others)
http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=189494

which button was pressed should turn up in the $_REQUEST variable. but its not there.

Code

print "<pre>"; print_r($_REQUEST); print "</pre>";

is there any way to know _which_ submit button was pressed?

Thanks

It should be $_post['myfirstbutton'] and $_post['mysecondbutton']. If you give them different values, then you can check if the variable is set as well as the value of it.

here is a test script:
name: which_submit.php
place the file in the home jamroom directory
/which_script.php

Code

<?php // set up our included files require_once('include/jamroom-include.inc.php'); // get our variables $_post = getPostVars(); ################################## # WHICH SUBMIT BUTTON WAS CLICKED ##################################     if(isset($_post['submit_test'])){     print "<pre>";     //display all variables     //$i = get_defined_vars();     //print_r($i);         //display only the $_post variables     print_r($_post);     print "<pre>";     }           // Set up our page    jmHtmlBegin("Which Submit button was clicked?");    jmBodyBegin();            jmBeginForm('which_submit.php');        jrHtmlFormHiddenField('submit_test','test');     htmlPageSelect('header');     $dat[5999999]['title'] = '<input type="submit" name="myfirstbutton" value="myfirstbutton" /><input type="submit" name="mysecondbutton" value="mysecondbutton" />';            htmlPageSelect('row',$dat);        htmlPageSelect('footer');         jmSubmit('submit','','150px');     jmEndForm();             jmBodyEnd();     jmHtmlEnd();    ?>

produces the output of:
Array
(
[jr_html_form_token] => 933c55ec
[submit_test] => test
)
regardless of which submit was pressed.

even if i uncomment the:

Code

//$i = get_defined_vars();     //print_r($i);

which outputs ALL the set variables neither of the submit button's names or values are anywhere to be found.

could something in jamroom internals be stripping it?

--edit--
the flat php form does work.

Code

print '<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="which_submit.php" method="post" name="form"/>'; print '<input type="submit" name="myfirstbutton" value="Go!" />'; print '<input type="submit" name="mysecondbutton" value="Go!" />'; print '</form>'; if ($_REQUEST['myfirstbutton']) print "I SEE THE FIRST BUTTON"; if($_REQUEST['mysecondbutton']) print "I SEE THE SECOND BUTTON";

--edit edit--
found the problem: its this in the <form creation line.

Code

onsubmit="lockFormSubmit(this)"

You could do it with javascript actually:

<input type="hidden" id="hidden_container" name="hidden_container" value="">
<input type="submit" name="myfirstbutton" value="Go!" onclick="document.getElementById('hidden_container').value='myfirstbutton';">
<input type="submit" name="mysecondbutton" value="Go!" onclick="document.getElementById('hidden_container').value='mysecondbutton';">

not pretty, but it'll work.

Cheers Kyle, That way would probably work too. (im not very good with javascript.)

so im working on a way around it by removing the javascript check in the form headers.

Code

$token = jrHtmlFormTokenCreate() jmShowLine('sometext here<form name="form" method="post" target="_self" action="which_submit.php" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="hidden" name="jr_html_form_token" value="' . $token . ">');

The 'lockFormSubmit' is checking for any form elements of types 'submit' 'reset' 'button' and disabling them. (to "lock" a form so it cannot be submitted twice)

if this way doesnt work then ill try yours. thanks
