panherz Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Hi, I have found myself in a bit of a cul-de-sac. Hope you can help as it is driving me crazy. The scenario: I have an html form (_post) which I would like to write the contents of to a one XML file using php. The problem is: The html page has three/four forms in it. Form a = (submit a writes/updates only to section a) Form b = (submit b writes/updates only to section b) Form c = (submit c writes/updates only to section c) Form d= (submit a, b, c writes/updates all sections) The XML page has three sections a, b & c To conclude, I want to be able to update the XML file in sections or update them all as a whole. How can I go about achieving this? Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/262123-html-forms-php-to-xml/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignace Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Have an hidden input field named section in each form: <input type="hidden" name="section" value="a"> Then when processing check which section: if ($_POST['section'] === 'a') { // section a processing } For the d part, let that be the else: } else if ($_POST['section'] === 'c') { // section c processing } else { // section d processing } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/262123-html-forms-php-to-xml/#findComment-1343318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
