Hi, I have the following code which works perfectly all i wish to do is change the submit button to an image in my "images" folder print "\n<form ENCTYPE=\"multipart/form-data\" action=\"" . $PHP_SELF . "\" method=\"post\">"; print "\n<INPUT TYPE=\"hidden\" name=\"MAX_FILE_SIZE\" value=\"" . $my_max_file_size . "\">"; print "\n<INPUT TYPE=\"hidden\" name=\"task\" value=\"upload\">"; print "\n<P>Upload a file"; print "\n NOTE: Max file size is " . ($my_max_file_size / 1024) . "KB"; print "\n <INPUT NAME=\"the_file\" TYPE=\"file\" SIZE=\"35\"> "; print "\n<input type=\"submit\" Value=\"Upload\">";*****i assume its this line !! print "\n</form>"; can someone please show me how the code should look. Regards

sorry .. this is how it looks now numbers in (**) indicate line numbers (42) print "\n<form ENCTYPE=\"multipart/form-data\" action=\"" . $PHP_SELF . "\" method=\"post\">"; (43) print "\n<INPUT TYPE=\"hidden\" name=\"MAX_FILE_SIZE\" value=\"" . $my_max_file_size . "\">"; (44) print "\n<INPUT TYPE=\"hidden\" name=\"task\" value=\"upload\">"; (45) print "\n<P>Upload a file"; (46) print "\n NOTE: Max file size is " . ($my_max_file_size / 1024) . "KB"; (47) print "\n <INPUT NAME=\"the_file\" TYPE=\"file\" SIZE=\"35\"> "; (48) print "\n<input type=\"image\" src=\"images/abg1.gif\" height=\"6\" width=\"6\" border=\"0\" name=\"uploadbutton\"> (49) print "\n</form>"; regards

and moreover the above answer doesn't address the question completzly ;-) you need an OnClick event handler on the TYPE=IMAGE field, that does : document.formname.submit(); so basically, I would do this : (42) print "\n<form ENCTYPE=\"multipart/form-data\" action=\"" . $PHP_SELF . "\" method=\"post\" name=myform>"; (43) print "\n<INPUT TYPE=\"hidden\" name=\"MAX_FILE_SIZE\" value=\"" . $my_max_file_size . "\">"; (44) print "\n<INPUT TYPE=\"hidden\" name=\"task\" value=\"upload\">"; (45) print "\n<P>Upload a file"; (46) print "\n NOTE: Max file size is " . ($my_max_file_size / 1024) . "KB"; (47) print "\n <INPUT NAME=\"the_file\" TYPE=\"file\" SIZE=\"35\"> "; (48) print "\n<input type=\"image\" src=\"images/abg1.gif\" height=\"6\" width=\"6\" border=\"0\" name=\"uploadbutton\" OnClick=\"javascript:document.myform.submit();\"> "; (49) print "\n</form>";

please note that your \n are completely pointless, the HTML output is delimited by and nothing else ; and also that this method of writing output is a lot easier and clearer to use and read : <? $mymaxfsk=$my_max_file_size / 1024; echo <<<EOS <form ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" action="$PHP_SELF" method="post" name=myform> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="$my_max_file_size"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="task" value="upload"> <P>Upload a file NOTE: Max file size is $mymaxfsk KB <INPUT NAME="the_file" TYPE="file" SIZE="35"> <input type="image" src="images/abg1.gif" height="6" width="6" border="0" name="uploadbutton" OnClick="javascript:document.myform.submit();"> </form> EOS; ?> ans lastly that the double quotes around values not containing spaces are useless and not required either.

type="image" is a submit

Your a star VGR. I would put your new version in place but the code is much much longer and not sure what else it would affect. But i now have the desired result .. Thanks Again

...passing imagename_x and imagename_y instead of name (for type=submit) as variable

By: VGR	Date: 07/05/2003 20:42:00		Type : Comment
ah blackelvis ? Type=image is a submit ? Never realized this :D If it's true, please accept my apologies

By: VGR	Date: 07/05/2003 20:49:00		Type : Comment
for PHPnewbee : the code would affect nothing else. I'm just suggesting a way more convenient (except when computed values are displayed, see introduction of $mymaxfsk for example) IMHO but it's up to your programming style :D
