The isset() function can be used to check if the input type submit
is pressed, but is there a way to check if the input type button is pressed?
In my code the button does nothing but call a function on the .Onclick() event which then refreshes the page and makes a database entry inside PHP...and I want it to make the entry only after the button is pressed...and I can't use the submit type for other reasons...following is some code:
function send()
{
var events = document.getElementById("event").value;
location.href = "calm.php?day=" + xx + "&month=" + yy + "&year=" +
zz + "&events=" + events;
}
<input name="Button"
type="button"
id="submit"
onclick="send(this.form)"
value="Button" />
<?php
session_start();
include_once "connect_to_mysql.php";
$day = $_GET['day'];
$month = $_GET['month'];
$year = $_GET['year'];
$events = $_GET['events'];
$userid = $_SESSION['id'];
if (isset($_POST['button']))
{
$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO events (userid,month,day,year,events)
VALUES('$userid','$month','$day', '$year','$events')")
or die (mysql_error());
}
?>
isset($_POST['Button'])
you just missed the capital B
. You need to match it the same as the input's name
attribute.
