Question

I have a Submit button to remove a user:

 <form class="spform" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post" name="userdetails" onsubmit=""> 
   <input type="submit"' name="remove_user[<?=$i?>]" id="formButton" value="Remove" /> 
</form> 

My Script removes the user as follows:

if (isset($_POST['remove_user']))
{
    for ($j = 1; $j <= $_SESSION['highest_user_index']; $j++)
    {
        if (array_key_exists($j, $_POST['remove_user']))
        {
            // remove user details from session variables
            unset($_SESSION["delegate".$j]);
            $_SESSION['number_of_usesr'] = $_SESSION['number_of_users'] - 1;
        }
    }
}

Now i want to change the Submit Button to a link. How do I do this?

Answer 1

You can use javascript:

<form class="spform" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post" name="userdetails" onsubmit=""> 
   <a href="javascript: submitform()">Delete user</a>
   <input type="hidden" name="remove_user[<?=$i?>]" value="Remove" /> 
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
function submitform()
{
  document.userdetails.submit();
}
</script>

or a link with GET parameters:

<a href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?remove_user=1&userid=".$i ?>">Delete user</a>

in your server side code you have to read out the get parameters

 if (isset($_GET['remove_user']))
 {
     userid = $_GET['userid'];

 }

Sorry if there are any errors in the code I didn’t try it
