Question

I am using the following form to take input and then set an action

<select name="page_option">
<option value="go1">GO1</option>
<option value="go2">Go 2</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Change home.php" />

Instead of this I want to have two buttons side by side,one button has text GO1 while other has GO2 and when user click GO1 and GO2 it will serve the same purpose as this above form
Also when Go1 button is clicked the page will display below the buttons “GO1 is on” and when Go2 is clicked it will display below “GO2 is on”

Any clue ?

Answer 1

Try the following..

<form action='action.php' method='post'>
<input type="submit" name='go1' value="go1">
<input type="submit" name='go2' value="go2">

in action.php

if(isset($_REQUEST['go1']))
{
  $_SESSION['msg'] = 'Go1 button is on'
}

if(isset($_REQUEST['go2']))
{
  $_SESSION['msg'] = 'Go2 button is on'
}

print_r($_SESSION['msg']);

Hope this will help you. You must start session at the beginning of action.php file
Thanks
