Submit form to itself 1

[Azzuri]

Hello,

I am submitting a form to itself and would like to know if there is a method for the form to know its been submitted more then once. In ASP you can you can write

request.form.count > 1

Is there anything similar in PHP. I have been looking but cannot seem to find anything. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

you could you sessions and have a variable such as $count. Then everytime the form is submitted add 1 to the count making $count the number of times the form has been submitted.

If you want to use PHP, I agree sessions is probably the best way to go.

If you want to do something client side, I've seen some pages disable the submit button with Javascript before submitting the form.

That would be a Javascript forum question though.

I've dun it this way. First time the form is called the url should contain first=yes. In the script of the form when you link to it change first to no and test it.
