[SOLVED] 1 Form 2 Locations

[supanoob]

Is it possible to make 1 form lead to 2 different locations depending on what button is pressed? if so how?

[cooldude832]

yes you have to make 2 submit buttons with varying values

then do this

before the form

<?php
if ($_POST['submit'] == 'option1')
{exit(require('option1.php'));}
if ($_POST['submit'] == 'option2')
{exit(require('option2.php'));}
//etc etc add more for more options
?>

If it still isn't working, and you want help, post useful parts of your form and form processing code.

[supanoob]

sorry my heads all over atm...

 

this is the code that checks the 2 buttons

 

<?php

if ($_GET['step'] == 'save_delete')
{
//delete them
if ($_POST['submit'] == 'delete')
{
$ids_to_delete = $_POST['ids_to_delete'];

//Run the delete-query for each entry in the $ids_to_delete array
foreach($ids_to_delete as $id_to_delete) {

$sql2="UPDATE mail SET mail_deleted='1' WHERE mail_id='$id_to_delete'";
if(mysql_query($sql2));

$sql2="UPDATE accounts SET mail=mail-1 WHERE account_id='$account_id'";
if(mysql_query($sql2));

}
echo "Checked Items Deleted.";
}

//if wanting to save
if ($_POST['submit'] == 'save')
{
$ids_to_delete = $_POST['ids_to_delete'];

//Run the delete-query for each entry in the $ids_to_delete array
foreach($ids_to_delete as $id_to_delete) {

$sql2="UPDATE mail SET mail_saved='1' WHERE mail_id='$id_to_delete'";
if(mysql_query($sql2));

}
echo "Checked Mail Saved";
}

}

?>

 

and this is the code that has the buttons

 

<?php

<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Delete Checked\" name=\"delete\"> <input type=\"submit\" value=\"Save Checked\" name=\"save\"></form></center><br><br>";


?>

[cooldude832]

what is $_GET['step'] ??

[supanoob]

something in the url this is the opening of the form

 

<form method=\"POST\" action=\"mail.php?step=save_delete\">

[AndyB]

<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Save Checked\" name=\"save\">

 

Just to shorten the time taken to get this working, if you want to test the value sent from that, you want to examine the value of the NAMEd input, i.e. what is $save in the instance above.

If you copied and pasted the HTML for the input button, you forgot to escape the first ".  Dunno if that's the problem though.
