I have a form for which I'd like all submissions to happen through the
submit buttons provided. But if the user enters a
text box, the form gets submitted, and it gets submitted as if the
first submit button defined for the form had been pressed. Can I
insure that pressing

Yep, but not through PHP. Refers to a javascript newsgroup please.

Hi Thelma,
Yes, clear.
Go to your php.ini on the webserver, and find the following line:
browserHitReturnWillPostForm = 0
In case you cannot find that line, as I expect, repost your question to
a group that is relevant.
eg:
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html
PHP is a serverside language, not a webbrowser.

kept malfunctioning.

a 10 second google search for suppress return submit revealed this
informative page:
http://www.arraystudio.com/as-workshop/disable-form-submit-o n-enter-keypress.html
BUT!
Since it is javascript some people may have it disabled.
I allow for the enter to submit but on long forms I include an extra
checkbox called 'finished' until that is checked PHP always exits back
to the from, that way any mis-typed enters won't make the user submit
incomplete data.

Yes, my google search found the same kind of solutions. I was
hoping for a php workaround like what you suggest below.

Not really.
You have to validate your form data on the server anyway. If it's
incomplete, show the form again. Additionally you can't rely on a
particular submit button being triggered with [enter]. It's completely
up to the browser what to do with forms that have multiple submit
buttons.

What happens if there is no submit button? just a javascript driven
clickable object to do the submit bit..?

Awesome -- now I need to have Javascript enabled just to submit a
form. That's almost as bad as links that require it.

If it takes javashite to get the app to behave the way you want it,
that's what it takes.
Don't shoot the messenger...

Well, if you're doing field validation, users will learn rather quickly
after a few dings about missing data
disable Return
