Hi all

Here is a PHP question I have to answer.

Now the thing I'm having a problem with is...
When the form is submitted and the page reloads, how do I determine which button was pressed/which string was "chosen"? How would I structure that bit? I simply cannot of something that would work.

Would appreciate any help/ideas on this. Thanks.

In the submit button tag, you can define a "name" to it. For example,
<input name="AAA" value="Choose This" type="submit">

To capture which button was clicked. Use
if(isset($_POST['AAA']))
{
// your script
}

If this doesn't work, then you may use three separate form for the table.

Excellent. Thank you so much, zippee. I had tried something along those lines, with trying to get the value of the button, but I messed it up somehow, so I thought it didn't work with buttons at all.

Thanks again.

<?php
$s=array('AAA','BBB','CCC','DDD','EEE','FFF','GGG','HHH','III','JJJ','KKKK','...','ZZZ'); $nr=count($s);
if (isset($_POST['posted'])) {
if (isset($_POST['ONE']))
{
$position=array_search($_POST['c1'],$s);
$c1=$s[$position];
if ($position==$nr-1) { $position=0; } else { $position=$position+1; }
$c2=$s[$position];
if ($position==$nr-1) { $position=0; } else { $position=$position+2; }
$c3=$s[$position];
}
if (isset($_POST['TWO']))
{
$position=array_search($_POST['c2'],$s);
$c1=$s[$position];
if ($position==$nr-1) { $position=0; } else { $position=$position+1; }
$c2=$s[$position];
if ($position==$nr-1) { $position=0; } else { $position=$position+2; }
$c3=$s[$position];
}
if (isset($_POST['THREE'])) {
$position=array_search($_POST['c3'],$s);
$c1=$s[$position];
if ($position==$nr-1) { $position=0; } else { $position=$position+1; }
$c2=$s[$position];
if ($position==$nr-1) { $position=0; } else { $position=$position+2; }
$c3=$s[$position];
}
} else {
$c1='AAA';
$c2='BBB';
$c3='CCC';
}
?>

cthackers, can you do my homework too please?

Now apcxpc, you just gotta optimize your homework..

LOL yeah. I tried to do it for myself afterwards, and ran into some troubles again. I'm probably going to have to take a few peeks at my homework to figure it out. :lol:
