PHP isset doesnt work on html button

Question

<form action="service.php" method="POST">
            <fieldset>
                <input type="button" name="getMa" onclick="window.open('service.php')"value="MA anzeigen"/>
                <input type="text" size="5" maxlength="5" name="MA_ID" value=""/><br><br>
            </fieldset>

service.php:

if(isset($_POST['getMa']))
    {
        echo "getMa gedrückt";
    }

I just want to know which of my buttons has been pushed, what am I doing wrong? Any help appreciated, I'm new to this stuff, thx guys Regards Ismir

Try to scan by print "<pre>"; print_r($_POST); print "</pre>"; — Venkat.R

Remove onclick="window.open('service.php')", the action attribute will submit the form. You are basically opening a window directly so it will not be having any information about the POST parameters

and yes change

 type="button"

to

 type="submit"

I removed onclick, but then nothing happens, means service.php will not be opened, regard I have three buttons in this form
