whats the best way to handle multiple submit buttons on forms

[CincoPistolero]

I have a page that loads form order data from several database tables. From that page, i'd like to do two different things. 1) send form info to a page that deactivates order 2) send form info to a page that adds everything selected to a work order table.

 

I've tried the code below to send to different pages but the location.replace does not pass the form data.

 

<?php
if (isset($_POST['deact'])) { // if form has been submitted 
?>
  <script language='javascript'>
location.replace('deactivate.php?artistID=<?php echo $row['artistID']; ?>');
</script> 
<?php } else if(isset($_POST['accept'])) { ?>
<script language='javascript'>
location.replace('acceptSubmission.php?artistID=<?php echo $row['artistID']; ?>');
</script>
<?php } else { ?>
<div id="main">

 

How else is it possible to have two buttons that can act on all of the form data?

 

thanks in advance

You should do this server-side, not client-side.
