Question

What is the use of the name attribute in the image input type?

Answer 1

watch this:

<?
var_dump($_REQUEST);
?>
<form method="post" action="test.php">
<input type="image" name="test" src="design/back2.jpg">

</form>

after sending the form you get this:

array(2) { [“test_x”]=> string(2) “94” [“test_y”]=> string(2) “80” }

namy_x and name_y tells you where the user clicked on that image.
