[FX.php List] Newbie: Making a form

[AC]

I'm no expert but this works for me;

new.php
<FORM id="FormNew" ACTION="list.php" METHOD=POST>
    <input type="hidden" name="ButtonPressed" value="New Continue">
    <INPUT TYPE=text NAME="Subject" VALUE="" SIZE=108>
    <INPUT TYPE=submit NAME="Submit" VALUE="Continue">
</FORM>


list.php
if($_REQUEST['ButtonPressed']=='New Continue'){
    $Search = new FX($ServerIP,$WebPort);
    $Search->SetDBPassword($ThePwd,$TheLogin);
    $Search->SetDBData(<<DBName>>,<<LayoutName>>);
    $Search->AddDBParam('Subject', stripslashes($_REQUEST['Subject']));
    $ResultAll = $Search -> FMNew();
}
