chris_davidsonuk Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 On one of my pages I have 2 forms. I use if ($_POST) { to activate the form. The problem is that both forms submit when either of the forms are submitted. Is there any way I can make it so that each form is triggered seperately? You can see what I mean at: [url=http://www.wemustdesign.com/contact.php]http://www.wemustdesign.com/contact.php[/url][code] <?php if ($_POST) { $contact_name = $_POST['contact_name']; $contact_mail = $_POST['contact_mail']; $contact_phone = $_POST['contact_phone']; $contact_enquiry = $_POST['contact_enquiry']; $message = "Message from $contact_name \n\nE-Mail:$contact_mail\n\n$contact_phone \n\nTelephone:\n\n$contact_phone\n\nEnquiry:\n\n$contact_enquiry"; mail("[email protected]", "Contact Form Submitted", $message); echo "<fieldset><legend>Enquiry Form Submitted</legend><br /><span class='required'>Thankyou for your enquiry. I will get back to you as soon as possible.</span><br />- Chris Davidson<br /><br /></fieldset>"; } else { $ledgend = "Enquiry Form <span class= 'required'>(Required *)</span> "; ?> <form name="" method="post" action="<?= $PHP_SELF ?>"> <fieldset> <legend><? echo "$ledgend" ?></legend><br /><label for="contact_name">Name <span class= "required">*</span></label><input type="text" value="" name="contact_name" id="contact_name"/><br /><label for="contact_mail">Email Address <span class= "required">*</span></label><input type="text" value="" name="contact_mail" id="contact_mail"/><br /><label for="contact_phone">Telephone:</label><input type="text" value="" name="contact_phone" id="contact_phone"/><br /><label for="contact_enquiry">Enquiry <span class= "required">*</span></label><textarea name="contact_enquiry" id="contact_enquiry"></textarea><br /><br /> <input type="submit" title="Submit callback request" class="btn" onmouseover="this.className='btn btnhov'" onmouseout="this.className='btn'" name="Submit" value="Submit" /> </fieldset> </form> <?php } ?>[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/15304-help-with-form/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
localhost Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Try changing if ($_POST){to if(isset($_POST['Submit'])){ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/15304-help-with-form/#findComment-61925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Haley Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 [quote author=localhost link=topic=101439.msg401513#msg401513 date=1153531132]if(isset($_POST['Submit'])){[/quote]The reson that this works is because instead of checking for something that should always be there, you are checking if the submit button has been pressed.edit: what i mean by this, to be more clear is,$_POST is there. Period.$_POST['Submit'] is only there if the submit button has been pressed.Thus, checking for $_POST is useless.

localhost Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Ok then if(isset($_POST['submit'] && !empty($_POST['fieldname'])){ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/15304-help-with-form/#findComment-61930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrbnsn Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Another way to do this is to give the submit buttons two different names.This short script illustrates this:[code]<?phpif (isset($_POST['submit']) || isset($_POST['submit1'])) echo '<pre>' . print_r($_POST,true) . '</pre>';?><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"><html><head> <title>two forms</title></head><body><form method="post"><input type="hidden" name="inform" value="1"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send Form 1"></form><br><form method="post"><input type="hidden" name="inform" value="2"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send Form 2"></form></body></html>[/code]Ken Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/15304-help-with-form/#findComment-62077 Share on other sites More sharing options...
