More than one button into one form

[firedrop84]

I have another question. when I got for example in a form a submit button I usually use the action in the form and thats in the HTML to allow it to go for the page that I would like.

I am wondering what if I have two buttons that they do two different actions. How I can handle this.

Hi,

don't use any action or use action = "<?echo $PHP_SELF?>" to call the same script. Then use an if ... elseif ... else - construct like

[code]

<?php

# Submit - Button #1
if (isset($_POST[submit_button_1]) {

   # action for submit - button #1

} // if

# Submit -  Button #2
elseif (isset($_POST[submit_button_2]) {

   # action for submit - button #2

} // if

# Standard - form
else {

   ?>

   <form method = "POST">
  
        .......

   </form>

   <?

} // else

?>

[/code]

Give buttons the same name then check the value to get clicked button

[code]<?php

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

    switch ($_POST['submit']) {
            case 'A':
                  echo 'Button A was pressed<br>';
                  break;
            case 'B':
                  echo 'Button B was pressed<br>';
                  break;
    }

}
?>
<FORM METHOD='POST'>
<INPUT TYPE='SUBMIT'  name='submit' value='A'>
<INPUT TYPE='SUBMIT'  name='submit' value='B'>
</FORM>[/code]
