Hello. I decided to create my own browser game and started learning PHP and HTML. Everything is going quite well now I'm creating a primitive version of the game. I'm reading tutorials and moving forward fast. But I started thinking about the combat system and got stuck. I want to let my users to choose which monster to attack with buttons. I made this form as an example:
Code: Select all
<p>Choose which monster you want to hunt:</p>
Rat<br />
<form action='main.php?p=hunt' method='post'>
<input type='submit' name='rat' value='Attack' /><br /><br />
Slime<br />
<form action='main.php?p=hunt' method='post'>
<input type='submit' name='slime' value='Attack' />
</form>
And I'd like to know what code should I use to know which submit button was pressed, the rat or slime one. I currently only know how to do a lot of IF's to determine it so is there a short way to do it? If anyone can, please help me, and if you can try to explain it simply as I'm still starting to understand php

. And also I'd like some suggestions where to run my combat script (the same page where the form is or it should be on a different page, if the page should use id from a rand() function and so on).
Thanks
