make form ACTION a variable

[kuclu]

I have a multipage form, where the user progresses from one page to another in a prefixed order. Now i want to give the user the option to choose where he wants to proceed, i.e. I am trying to make the value of the <FORM ACTION =""> elements to be different.

 

Example:

 

If user selects "GO to form A" from a pulldown menu,

          then <FORM ACTION="formA.php">

If user selects "GO to form B" from a pulldown menu,

          then <FORM ACTION="formB.php">

 

Is this possible?

yes this is possible, just echo a variable in the form action.  use an if statement or function to set the value of the variable

 

<FORM ACTION="<?php echo $variable;?>">

tnx for that. but can you give me an example pls? or point me to a step-by-step tutorial? as i am new to this.

Actually, what the OP wants can not be done directly in PHP, but would have to be done in Javascript. If the OP does not want to use Javascript, then the receiving script would need to determine what to do based on the value the user selected.

ok, i had a different thought in mind.  i was thinking the user would choose where he wanted to go then the form would load once the choice was submitted.

 

if($_POST['choice'] == 'foo')
{
  $formaction = 'foo.php';
} else if($_POST['choice'] == 'bar'){
  $formaction = 'bar.php';
}
//html form for choice


if(isset($_POST['choice']))
{
  //load html form
}
