[SOLVED] Multiple Submit Buttons One Form

[dlebowski]

I need someone to help me with this.  As you can see below, I have "UPDATE LOT" form button at the bottom.  When clicked it opens a new window and takes me to addeditlotsupdate.php exactly the way I want it to.  Next to that is a "DELETE LOT" button.  I don't want it to submit the values to addeditlotsupdate.php.  Instead I want it to submit the values to deletelot.php.  Can anyone tell me how to do that?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.  I think I'm on the right track now.  But here is what I need to have happen.  When they click on "Update Lot" I need it to pop open a window and go to "addeditlotsupdate.php".  It works perfectly.  The "DELETE LOT" is the one I need to tweak.  The "deletelot.php" is actually the page the form is coded in.  So all I need it to do is just submit the form information back to the same page.  Does that make sense?  So there should be no pop up window for it.  It just just submit the form data to the existing page and then the existing page is coded to know how to do the delete.  Thanks again for you help.  Any suggestions on how to accommodate this would be greatly appreciated!

if your only using one php page with this add/delete code in it; then you do not need two different pages. you need to set up 2 variables in your php page - similar to this:

 

<?php

$action = $_GET['action'];

if ($action == "add") {
// add code here
exit;
}
else if ($action == "delete") {
// delete code here
exit;
}
else {
header("Location: ". $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] ."");
exit;
}

?>

 

then, do this in your html page:

 

<script language="javascript">
function deleteIt()
{
document.uf.action="addeditlotsupdate.php?action=delete";
document.uf.submit();
}
function addIt()
{
document.uf.action="addeditlotsupdate.php?action=add";
document.uf.submit();
}
</script>



<form name="uf" method="POST">
<tr>
<? echo "<input type='hidden' name='ud_LotID' value='$LotID'>";?>
<? echo "<input type='hidden' name='ud_LotPaymentExempt' value='$LotPaymentExempt'>";?>

<TD width="1"></td>
<TD><? echo "<input type='text' size='9' name='ud_AbsenteeBid' style='background-color:$color; border:1px solid #0069af; text-align:center' value='$AbsenteeBid'>";?></td>

</tr>
<tr><TD width="1"></tr>
</form>

 

also, I removed the onsubmit event from your form; it is what was creating the pop-up window that you said you did not want.
