2,723 PointsHow to check if a type=submit & type= button is clicked by user?
This is main .php page
<form action="edit.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<?php for ($i=1; $i<=6; $i++){
echo $_SESSION['number'.$i]=$i;
?>
<input type="submit" name= "submit<?php echo $i;?>" value="Edit" >
<input type="button" name= "detail<?php echo $i;?>" value="Details" >
<?php } ?>
This is edit.php page
for ($y=1; $y<=6; $y++){
if (isset($_POST['submit'.$y])) {
$_SESSION['result'] = $_SESSION['number'.$y];
}
}
echo $_SESSION['result'] ;
?>
from the above code, which mean that submit1, detail1 have value of '1' ; submit2, detail2 have value of '2' and respectively. when i press the 3rd submit button in edit.php i having value of '3'.
how bout if i press detail3 i wan to have move the $_SESSION[result] to detail.php. But i have no idea how to bring the value to detail.php page when detail3 button clicked?
Please advice

** change you input type like this <input type="submit" name= "detail<?php echo $i;?>" value="Details" >
<?php
if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"]=="POST")
{
for ($y=1; $y<=6; $y++)
{
if (isset($_POST['submit'.$y]))
{
$_SESSION['result'] = $_SESSION['number'.$y];
}
if (isset($_POST['detail'.$y]))
{
$_SESSION['result'] = $_SESSION['number'.$y];
}
}
echo $_SESSION['result'] ;
}
?> <form action=" " method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <?php for ($i=1; $i<=6; $i++){?>
<? echo $_SESSION['number'.$i]=$i; ?>
<input type="submit" name= "submit<?php echo $i;?>" value="Edit" > <input type="submit" name= "detail<?php echo $i;?>" value="Details" > <?php } ?>
