Computer Forums - View Single Post - using one text box for different variables (php)

zach014 · 07-11-2007, 08:48 AM

i've seen websites use one text box to submit different things depending on which button they click.
for example, i have a buy button and a sell button next to each other, and one text box to the right of them. i want it so that if they click buy, it will read the contents of the text box as if it were a different text box than if someone clicked sell.
thanks in advance,
~zach
