Question

With <input type="submit"> it’s easy enough, it’s just the value attribute. But for a <button>Value</button> the value goes in the middle (this allowed me to have an icon in the button label which was important).

How do I get that in PHP? If my button looks like <button type="submit">Text <i class="icon-remove"></i></button> do I include the <i></i> part?

Answer 1

<button name="name_of_button" value="some_value">Some Value</button>

assuming your form is POSTed the value is then used like $_POST['name_of_button']
