problem with get button

[graham23s]

Hi Guys,

what im trying to do is when a user clicks a button the get at the bottom of the page grabs it and displays data, i can to it with text no problem but having trouble getting this button to grab it

partial code:

PHP Code:

  echo ("<tr>");
  echo ("<td colspan=\"2\" align=\"right\"><form action=\"credits.php\" method=\"get\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"action\" value=\"show\" \><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn\" name=\"show\" value=\"Show Credits\"></form></td>");
  echo ("</tr>");
  echo ("</table></form>");
  
  if($_GET['action'] == 'show')
  {
  
  ## display previous credits for editing etc
  //$querycredits = ("SELECT * FROM `userscredits` WHERE `userid`='$var_loggedinuserid'");
  //$resultcredits = mysql_query($querycredits);  
  
  echo "this is the get";
  
  } // end get 


can nayone see the problem at all?

thanks guys

just change the if line to

PHP Code:

if(isset($_GET['show'])) { 


The submit button returns its value just like any other input field, so you can see if that button was pressed.
