html button to pass variable content

[lassoloc]

Hello World,

 

I need some tips on how to make a button that does something like the code below.

 

.......echo '<tr><td align="left"><a href="add_cart.php?pid=' . $row1['item_id'] . '">Add to Cart</a></td>........

 

I've been messing with html form and button type with no success. This code does the job but I prefer a button.

 

Thanks

<a href="add_cart.php?pid=' . $row1['item_id'] . '"><input type="button" value="add to cart" name="Addtocart" /></a>

 

Just make the button or image or whatever in between your anchor tags.

so why not use the same code and use an image instead of text?

 

Anyways...

 

in order to mimic that with a form without changing anything in add_cart.php, the code would look something like this:

echo <<<FORMENT
<form name="someform" action="add_cart.php" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="pid" value="{$row1['item_id']}" />
<input type="submit" value="Add to Cart" />
</form>
FORMENT;

I've tried this. For some reason this doesn't work for me. I get the  button but clicking does nothing. Image doesn't work but text does.

<input type=button onClick="location.href=\'view_order_content.php?oid=' . $row1['oid'] . '\'" value="View Cart" />

 

Thanks everyone. The above code fixed my problem.
