I have seen this thread…
…but it doesn’t help.
Can anyone tell me how, from within a form, I can tell what mode (insert or edit) the form is in?
Afaik, you cannot.
Wow. That’s not good.
If I choose to edit a record from a grid the form header will say “Editing”
If I choose to add new from a grid the form header will say “(New Record)”
So the form obviously knows.
Alternatively, is it possible to call a php method when a button is pressed before the form is loaded?
No, not in a grid. But why not take matters in your own hands and create the buttons.
You can pass a parameter and know exactly where you’re at.
