hi all

I have a php file that contains a form (witch contains 2 input boxes and a submit button) for updating a contact. I managed to fill the fields with the contact's data, but I can't detect if the submit button is clicked

form looks like this

echo "<form action=Contact.php><table>".
"<tr><td>First Name</td><td><input type=text size=75% name=FirstName value='".$row['FirstName']."'></td></tr>".
"<tr><td>Last Name</td><td><input type=text size=75% name=LastName value='".$row['LastName']."'></td></tr>".
"<tr><td colspan=2><input type=submit name=UpdateContact value=Update></td></tr>".
"</table></form>";

this code should output a "clicked" message if the button is clicked

if (isset($_POST['UpdateContact']))
{
   echo "<p>clicked";
}
else
{
   echo "<p>not clicked";
}

can anyone help me out or tell me what i've done wrong

(I want from the same php file to fill the contact's data in a from and to update the database)
