Question

The following code works in Chrome. But in Firefox the submit step is not working

<?php
if(!isset($_POST['submit'])){


?>
<form action="" method="post">
<b>ID:</b>
<input name="std_no" type="text" />
<input type="image" width="100" value="submit" name="submit" id="submit" src="images/butup.gif" alt="submit Button">
</form>

<?php 
} 
else {
    $id=$_POST['std_no'];
    echo $id;
    }

?>

Answer 1

The issue is that an image submit doesn’t send the name “submit” it sends “submit_x” and “submit_y”

So you should check for

if (isset($_POST['submit_x']))...

EDIT: I’ve done a little more testing on this and it appears in Firefox (16) and IE(7, 8, 9) only the x and y get sent whereas in Chrome (23) and Safari (5.1) it also send the name too along with x and y.

So the safest way is to check for the value is : isset($_POST['name_x'])
