[SOLVED] two POST forms in one doc

[onthespot]

hey, my code

 

<?php


$query="INSERT INTO ".TBL_AWARDS." VALUES (NULL, '$type','$user', now(), '$acomment')";
if (!empty($_POST)) {
    // processing logic

if(!$acomment || strlen($acomment = trim($acomment)) == 0)
    echo "Comment not entered";
else if(!$acomment || strlen($acomment = trim($acomment)) < 10)
    echo "Comment too short, must be 10 characters at least";
else if (!$acomment || strlen($acomment = trim($acomment)) > 10){
    echo "".$_SESSION['username'].", you have added an award to ".$_POST['awarduser']."'s Profile. ";
   mysql_query($query);}}

?>


<?php


$query2="INSERT INTO ".TBL_AWARDS." VALUES (NULL, '$type2','$user2', now(), '$comment2')";
if (!empty($_POST)) {
    // processing logic

if(!$comment2 || strlen($comment2 = trim($comment2)) == 0)
    echo "Comment not entered";
else if(!$comment2 || strlen($comment2 = trim($comment2)) < 10)
    echo "Comment too short, must be 10 characters at least";
else if (!$comment2 || strlen($comment2 = trim($comment2)) > 10){
    echo "".$_SESSION['username'].", you have added recognition to ".$_POST['recuser']."'s Profile. ";
   mysql_query($query2);}}

?>

 

How can I seperate these so that they have a unique way of being different when i submit them?? At the moment when one is submitted, the other says no comment entered. Any way around this? Cheers

I must be confused as to what the question is...because with 300+ posts I would hope this would be more obvious by now...If you have two POST forms submitting to the same PHP script then add a post variable to each form named "submissionForm" and have it be unique between each form:

 

Form 1 add:

<input type=hidden name=submissionForm value="form1">

 

Form 2 add:

<input type=hidden name=submissionForm value="form2">

 

Change code to:

 

<?php

if (!empty($_POST)) {

if($submissionFrom == "form1")
{
    $query="INSERT INTO ".TBL_AWARDS." VALUES (NULL, '$type','$user', now(), '$acomment')";

    // processing logic

    if(!$acomment || strlen($acomment = trim($acomment)) == 0)
        echo "Comment not entered";
    else if(!$acomment || strlen($acomment = trim($acomment)) < 10)
        echo "Comment too short, must be 10 characters at least";
    else if (!$acomment || strlen($acomment = trim($acomment)) > 10){
        echo "".$_SESSION['username'].", you have added an award to ".$_POST['awarduser']."'s Profile. ";
       mysql_query($query);}
}
else if($submissionFrom == "form2")
{
    $query2="INSERT INTO ".TBL_AWARDS." VALUES (NULL, '$type2','$user2', now(), '$comment2')";

    // processing logic

    if(!$comment2 || strlen($comment2 = trim($comment2)) == 0)
        echo "Comment not entered";
    else if(!$comment2 || strlen($comment2 = trim($comment2)) < 10)
        echo "Comment too short, must be 10 characters at least";
    else if (!$comment2 || strlen($comment2 = trim($comment2)) > 10){
        echo "".$_SESSION['username'].", you have added recognition to ".$_POST['recuser']."'s Profile. ";
       mysql_query($query2);}
}
else
{
   echo "Where is this request coming from";
}

?>

 

Please note that there are ALOT of coding issues with your code. For one, you insert into the database before you do your error checking...

How do i enter into the DB before error checking? Take a second look?

Where do i define submissionform?
