[thelist] Form Submission (POST)

Mon Jun 17 11:09:00 CDT 2002

Use the name of the submit button as the indicator of which button was
pushed.

Here is the contents of a complete test page which does what you desire.
Save it as a file on a server and view it:
++++++++++++++++++
<?
if (isset($proc1)) {
    echo "proc1<br>";
   // do process 1 processing here
} elseif (isset($proc2)) {
    echo "proc2<br>";
   // do process 2 processing here
}

?>

<html>

<form action="<? echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" method="post">
<input type="submit" name="proc1" value="process 1">
<input type="submit" name="proc2" value="process 2">
</form>
</html>

if you really want to fake a POST, Python can do that with the
urllib.urlretrieve command.
