Preserved Topic: Several 'submit' buttoms? (Page 1 of 1)

Hello!
This could belong to JS, not sure, feel free to move it:

I have this PHP DB queri that prints a checkbox per register (thanks Emps) I want to have several buttoms on the bottom of the page to elete the selected, add them, edit them, etc...

But I have no clue on how to assign a variable value to each one!

Beacause I have this page to process where a select makes all the work depending on a variable (thanks mr.maX) so I want to assign a value to that variable, depending on which submit buttom you make click.

Or there's another easier way?

Hummm, let's make for now the easy way:

<INPUT type=radio name=radiecito value=aceptodas>Borrar<BR>
<INPUT type=radio name=radiecito value=denegada>aceptar<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE=ingresar></form>

And the I need to change the switch select, right?

to something like this:

switch(radiecito) {

case "denegada":
blah blah
break;

case "aceptodas":
more blah

}

*runs naked to test*

or you make a several form for each entry.

To do that Grumble, I'll need to make a click for every entry, and they are nearly 1000 every day. =)

And nop, it's not working, it returns the 'default' of the select.

I think that switch(radiecito) it's not the appropiated variable to use, should be that the name of the radio buttom?

Yep i tried $radiecito and didn't work, but now I received the variable like this:
$var = $_POST["radiecito"];

and then:
switch ($var) {

blah lah

}

and works!!
thank you very much!!!!!

oh, sorry. i misunderstood your question.

so, your problem are the "select all" "select none" buttons at the bottom? so this is more a JS question that SSS. right?

We could say that! but, since I'm using PHP variables to get it

What I want it's exactly print a DB query and a check box with each one, then, make an action with the checkeds one only: delete, upgrade, whatever...

Only one buttom to process all the checked. If not, I would have to submit the form for each register!

Feel free to move it! could help to other in its respective forum!!!

Call me simple, but a normal submit button will get passed as a name/value pair as long as you give it a name...

<input type="submit" name="do_this" value="Add"/>

<input type="submit" name="do_this" value="Delete"/>

<input type="submit" name="do_this" value="Edit"/>

This should result in a variable of $do_this which will contain the string value of whichever button was clicked, e.g. $do_this = "Add" or $do_this="Edit"

The only problem is that if the form is submitted by pressing enter on a text field, the $do_this value won't be passed (no button was clicked on). You can get around this by adding onClick="clicked=1;" within the submit buttons, and having onSubmit="return(clicked);" in the form tag.

Wakkos: What I was getting at here:
www.gurusnetwork.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=20;t=000053

was something like stinx has said:

if ($add) {

  DO ADD STUFF

}

if ($edit) {

  DO EDIT STUFF

}

if ($delete) {

  DO DELETE STUFF

}

else {

  <form action="$PHP_SELF" method="post">

    CHECKBOXES

    <input type="submit" name="add" value="Add" />

    <input type="submit" name="edit" value="Edit" />

   <input type="submit" name="delete" value="Delete" />

</form>

}

Is that what you need or are you looking for something more complex?
