input type submit / buttons with specific post results

[moose-en-a-gant]

I think I understand that there can only be one "submit" button on a page.

I want buttons for separate forms to not trigger the empty errors on the other forms...

 

How do you accomplish specific button actions?

 

I think I've tried it with javascript but you can do it with PHP right?

Thanks for any help.

You can have multiple submits...just give them different values

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="delete" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="add" />

<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
  //form was submitted (name = submit)
  
  $action = $_POST['submit'];
  if ($action == 'delete')
  {
    //the submit with value of "delete" was pressed
  }
  else if ($action == 'add')
  {
    //the submit with value of 'add' was pressed
  }
}

What about target?

 

I just used a paypal button and I saw this :

<form target="paypal" action=" " method="post">

whats the question about target? Perhaps you should be looking these up in the HTML specs so you know what's legal/valid and what they do?
