help in php button

Question

i have a this button

<input type="button" name="continue" id="continue" value="Continue"> 

in php we use if($_POST['continue']) to edit the action of the submit button but only if its type is "submit". what if its type is "button"? how can i edit the action of that button?

Answer 1

If the type of the button is "button" instead of "submit", you will need another button to submit the form. consider this:

<input type="hidden" name="continue" id="continue" value="Continue" />
<input type="submit" name="go" id="go" value="Next" />

In that way, you can modify the value of the $_POST['continue'] without affecting the User Interface (UI).
