Problem on auto submit a form, it only refreshes the page

hi,

i am trying to submit a form having two(2) submit type in a form, NEXT and SUBMIT_NOW buttons, if the timer is up and consumed, the NEXT button or SUBMIT_NOW button will be pressed automatically. here's my timer code:

Code:

 

<script LANGUAGE="Javascript"><!--
 function go_on() 
 {

 document.test.submit();
  }
 
 var i=60; 
 function countDown() 
 {
 if(i >= 0)
 {
   document.frm.clock.value=i;
   i = i-1;
   var c = window.setTimeout("countDown()", 1000);
 }
 else 
 {
   go_on();
 }
 }
//--></SCRIPT>
</head>

<body onLoad="countDown()"  <?php if (isset($ionload)) echo $ionload; ?>>
 <table width="100%">...

If I put the Javascript on a single page (for testing) and don't use $PHP_SELF[see below code], it works, but I need to make this work using $PHP_SELF coz my list of question is randomly drawn within the page.

With my existing code (Javascript & the PHP below), it only refreshes the page and not moving on to the next question or even submit the entire test. Can you check the code where I could fix the problem?

PHP Code:


		
			
require_once('./include/h.inc.php');
    pt_register('GET', 'question_id');
    pt_register('POST', 'submitname', 'questions', 'question_id', 'question_number', 'prev', 'next');
    pt_register('SESSION', 'test_session');

    $question_count = count($test_session->questions) - 1;

    if (isset($next)) {

        foreach($questions as $question_id => $answer) {
            list($test_session->answers[$question_number]) = pt_clean_vars($answer);
        }

        $next_question_id = $test_session->questions[$question_number + 1];
        pt_redirect("question.php?question_id=$next_question_id");
    }

    if (isset($prev)) {

        foreach($questions as $question_id => $answer) {
            list($test_session->answers[$question_number]) = pt_clean_vars($answer);
        }

        $prev_question_id = $test_session->questions[$question_number - 1];
        pt_redirect("question.php?question_id=$prev_question_id");
    }


    if (isset($submitname)) {

        // make sure to update the answer into our test_session var
        foreach($questions as $question_id => $answer) {
            list($test_session->answers[$question_number]) = pt_clean_vars($answer);
        }

        $count = 0;
        // now, we need to reconstruct the questions array in a format that
         foreach ($test_session->questions as $question_id) {
            $questions[$question_id] = $test_session->answers[$count++];
        }

        // instantiate the test object so we can grade the test
        $test = new cTest($test_session->test_id);

        $test->grade($questions);
        pt_redirect("view_results.php?user_id=$user->user_id&feedback=" . urlencode($strings['TEST_SCORED']));
    } else {
        require_once('./include/header.inc.php');
 
        // figure out which question number we are on.
        $question_number = array_search($question_id, $test_session->questions);
 
        if ($question_number === FALSE) {
            pt_exit('Fatal Error: unable to determine question number.');
        }

        // output test title and additional notes
        echo "<div class=\"form\"><center><b>{$test_session->info['description']}</b></center>";
        

        if ($test_session->info['notes']) {
            echo "<hr noshade=\"noshade\" size=\"1\" />";
            echo "<div class=\"small\">{$test_session->info['notes']}<center><form name=\"frm\"><font size=-1>You have 180 seconds to answer this question:<input type=\"text\" name=\"clock\" size=2></font></form></centre></div>";
        }
        
        echo "</div>";
        echo "<form method=\"post\" name=\"test\" action=\"$PHP_SELF\">";
        echo "<div class=\"test\">\n";
        
        //lugar ng Q , Image/Flash, QOptions
        echo "<table border=0 width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\">";

        draw_question($question_id);
 
        echo "</table>";
        echo "</div>";
        echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"question_number\" value=\"$question_number\" />";
        echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"question_id\" value=\"$question_id\" />";

 
        echo "<tr>\n";
        echo "<td align=center bgcolor=\"" . pt_table_highlight(0) . "\">\n";
        // show the previous button unless we're on the first question
        if ($question_id != $test_session->questions[0]) {
            echo "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"prev\" value=\"<< {$strings['TEST_PREVIOUS_QUESTION']}\" />\n";
        }

        // show the next button unless we're on the last question
        if ($question_id != $test_session->questions[$question_count]) {
            echo "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"next\" value=\"{$strings['TEST_NEXT_QUESTION']} >>\" />\n";
        }

        echo "<input type=\"submit\"  name=\"submitname\" value=\"{$strings['TEST_SUBMIT']}\" />\n";
        echo "</td>\n";
        echo "</tr>\n";
        
        echo "</form>\n";
 

 //echo "</table>";
        echo "</div>";
        require_once('./include/footer.inc.php');
    }

Your time and help will very much appreciated.
