Re: [PHP] Unusual Form situation?

[Sam Masiello]

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.

Subject: [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)?

 Thanks,

 -Mike

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.
