Having 2 Form methods on one page?

[steves]

Is it possible to have 2 different forms trying to perform an action at the same time?  The first form will insert information into the database, the second form would send an email stating that new data has been entered.  Will this work or am I going about it the wrong waY?

<form method="post" action="insert.php">
<form method="post" action="sendemail.php">

Thank you
Steve

You have to write two forms one after the other. And submit the other form by javascript.

Currently the only form made is the one that inserts the information to the database, which works great.  What javascript code should I be looking for to help me send an email with the submitted information at the same time?

Or just have one PHP script do everything.

you can have one form with two different actions but it requires js.

Again, why have 2 separate actions ever?

I used one in a cms - one form 2 jobs - action one was to a script to show a preview of what page would look like and action 2 was to commit to the database.

That's not what he wants. He wants it to be able to have to actions simultaneously (that is at least how I read it).

Sorry didn't read his initial post (being lazy - unlike me ;) ) and yes yo0u are correct you don't need two actions for that - the script thatprocesses teh data can query the database for insert/update and then send out the e-mail - no need for two actions.
