Hi,
I am having a big problem with PHP, I wish to submit a form to either 'Update'
or 'Delete' a record, it works fine in Firefox and Safari but not Internet
Explorer.

Here is a basic code example.


Working version http://saawcomputing.co.uk/form-test.php

<form action="form-test.php" method="post">
<input type="image" src="3SM/admin/media/update1.gif" name="button"
value="update" />
<input type="image" src="3SM/admin/media/delete1.gif" name="button"
value="delete" />




</form>

<?php

if (isset($_POST['button']))
{

if ($_POST['button'] == "update")
{
echo "Will update";
} else {
echo "Will delete";
}
}

?>

Internet Explorer handles button images differently from ordinary
buttons. Instead of passing the value, it passes the x and y positions
of the mouse click. Use the following code to examine the data that's
actually being sent when the form is submitted:

if ($_POST) {
print_r($_POST);
}

I can't remember the exact details of what IE sends, but you will need
to add extra checks to your conditional statement to detect which button
is being clicked - by value in most browsers, but by x or y position in
Internet Explorer.
