Hi! I'm hoping someone here can help me out.

I'm trying to use an image as a submit button which in turn loads a php script.
Here's what I have

HTML File:
CODE

<html>

<head>
<title>No title</title>
<meta name="generator">
</head>

<body bgcolor="white" text="black" link="blue" vlink="purple" alink="red">
<form name="form1" method="post" action="post.php">
    <p> </p>
    <table border="1" width="407">
        <tr>
            <td width="200">
                <p><input type="text" name="name"></p>
            </td>
            <td width="191">
                <p><input type="text" name="pwd"></p>
                <p><input type="image" name"submit_btn" src="button1.jpg" alt"Submit"></p>
                <p></p>
                </td>        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td width="397" colspan="2"><input type="submit" name="submit_btn"></td>
        </tr>
    </table>
</form>
<p> </p>
</body>

</html>


And here's what i have for the php:
CODE

<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit_btn']))
{
  $username = $_POST['name'];
  $password = $_POST['pwd'];
  $text = $username . "," . $password . "\n";
  $fp = fopen('data.txt', 'a+');

    if(fwrite($fp, $text))  {
        echo 'saved';
    
    }
fclose ($fp);    
}
?>
<html>


It works fine with a standard Submit button.

I would really appreciate any little bit of help you can offer!

Thanks Pandy! I changed the line to read the following

CODE
               <p><input type="image" name="submit_btn" src="button1.jpg"></p>


But it'still not working. It loads the next page but it's not writing to the text file.

P.s thanks for the quick reply!

Try something like this PHP:

CODE
echo '<pre>';
print_r($_POST);
echo '</pre>';

to make sure the form data is submitted properly.

Thanks, Christian. Thought so, but I wasn't sure.

Anyway, just for the sake of it, delete the ordinary submit button and see if it works with only the image submit.
