[PHP] Unusual Form situation?
I have form I am working with and trying to add some PHP processing to the form's contents. The form is a html template used by a CGI script. So, instead of having a 'submit' button for the form's content, there is a GIF. The CGI apparently reads the GIF as a button to submit the form's content and move on. How would I go about getting php to recognize this GIF as such? Typically for forms I use: if ($submit) { blah, blah, blah } Would I use if ($gifname)? Would the the GIF's name be the ALT tag? Or am I going to have to sift through the arcane CGI to find some action? Can I make the PHP come to life using the ACTION section of the form (which only refers to the CGI right now)?

Re: [PHP] Unusual Form situation?
I assume that you are doing something like this for your image: input type=image src=path/to/image/image.gif border=0 name=myimage Given that, PHP gives you $myimage_x and $myimage_y which correspond to the X and Y coordinates that were clicked on the image from the user. So on the page that your form submits to, you can do the following: if (isset($myimage_x) || isset($myimage_y)) { // do something } If the image was clicked, this will submit your form, and both $myimage_x and $myimage_y will be set.

RE: [PHP] Unusual Form situation?
Thanks for the help! Those output variables are pretty interesting - I didn't know that image maps could be built in PHP with relative ease. :) So I learned two things for the price of one. :) -Mike -Original Message- From: Sam Masiello [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 1:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Unusual Form situation?
