[SOLVED] Multiple forms on page - submit button question

[Kane250]

I have two seperate forms on one page that submit data to MySQL. However, if the user hits the return key when trying to submit the second form, it activates the submit button for the first form. Is there any way to tell the browser to not do this?

Yes

 

<form action="form.php">
Something: <input type="text" name="Something">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Something">
</form>
<form action="form.php">
Something: <input type="text" name="SomethingElse">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="SomethingElse">
</form>

 

and then...

<?php
$submit = $_POST["submit"];
if($submit == "Something"){
// do something for form 1
} elseif($submit == "SomethingElse"){
// do soemthing for form 2
} else {
echo "ERROR. YOU DIVIDED BY ZERO.";
}
?>

So the text that appears on the submit button has to be different? There's no way of doing it all behind the scenes?

Correct

Gotcha! Thanks!
