Insert Into Database With Image Only (Form Needed?)

[justlukeyou]

Hi,

I have script which inserts the users ID into a database by using a standard form and submit however. However I am trying to shrink this all down to an image so someone can click an image which inserts the users ID into the database.

However I am unsure on how to do this. Should I be using a form?

<?php


if(isset($_POST['followform'])) {

        $follow = $_POST['follow'];
                   
$query_follow ="UPDATE users SET follow = '".$_POST['follow']."'" ;
$result_newUser = mysql_query($query_follow);
                $result = mysql_query($query_follow) or die("An error occurred ".mysql_error());
   
        }
?>
</div> 


<form class="followform" method="POST" action="">
<div class="forminputcell">
<div class="datainput">
  <div class="forminputleft">
Follow:
</div>
  <div class="forminputright">  
<input   name="follow" type="text" width="10" value="<?php echo $row['id']; ?>" />
</div>
</div>
          <div class="user-area">
          <input type="hidden" name="followform" value="submit" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" class="submit-button" />
  </div>
</div>
</form>

you can, certainly; the <input> tag has a type='image'.

Thanks, I have it like this but it I cant seem to get it to work. Should the name be follow or followform. I have tried both. Is there something I am missing?

 <?php


 
 if(isset($_POST['followform'])) {
	
    $follow = $_POST['follow'];
            
$query_follow ="UPDATE users SET follow = '".$_POST['follow']."'" ;
$result_newUser = mysql_query($query_follow);

        $result = mysql_query($query_follow) or die("An error occurred ".mysql_error());

    
    }

?> 
	</div> 	



	<form class="followform" method="POST" action="">
<div class="forminputcell">
<div class="datainput">
		<div class="forminputleft">	
Follow:
</div> 
		<div class="forminputright">			
<input type="image" img src="/images/logo.png"  name="follow"  value="<?php echo $row['id']; ?>" class="submit-button" />
</div>
</div> 
	</div> 
</form> 				
	</div>

well the img inside the tag is unnecessary. Take a look at the W3Schools tutorial for the input tag. It should give you an idea of what you need.

Thanks,

Can you advise any further how I can complete this process?
