Multiple forms, different PHP documents, same page?

[woolyg]

Hi all,

 

In a PHP file 'main.php' I have

 

<?php
include 'header.php';
include 'login.php';
include 'body.php';
include 'footer.php';
?>

 

Login.php has a form on it to allow the user to log in to the site.

 

Body.php has a form on it to allow a user to post a message.

 

What I'm finding is that the 'submit' button on 'body.php' actually calls the form from 'login.php'. Does PHP have issues when there are 2 separate forms doing 2 saperate things displayed on the same page - is there anything I need to look out for?

 

Any observations appreciated.

Do the two forms have the same name?

[woolyg]

Nope. I've been careful to identify them differently..

<?php
include "header.php";

$act = $_GET['act'];

switch($act){
   case login:
   include "login.php";
   break;

   case body:
   include "body.php";
   break;

   default:
   include "no_action.php";
}

include "footer.php";
?>

Can you post the two forms (the whole form just in case )

Um, your submit button needs a different " name="..." ".

 

You can use a hidden html form field to check if that form was the one submitted!

 

As a recommendation, the login script should use the name for the submit button as "login" or something. It will mess up your future php coding!

Cool, thanks for the input everyone. I'm going to go back and bang my head off it for a while. I'll come back with any issues! - woolyg.
