form into another form

[anujgarg]

hi

 

is it possible to handle one form into another form?

if yes, then I want to submit a form that is already in another form.

let me elaborate more:

i have 2 forms, say form1 and form2.

I have 2 submit buttons in both forms named button1(under form1) and button2(under form2) respectively.

Now, I want to submit form2 by clicking button2. Can I do that?

The purpose of doing this is to insert the values of form2 controls/elements in the database.

After inserting it in DB, I am retrieving an ID that will be inserted in DB after submitting form1.

 

Any Suggestions....

 

TIA

Anuj

You cannot have one form into another form.. they will have to be two seperate forms

[anujgarg]

it means, there is no way to do so what I've thought with 2 forms in a single page.

you can have 2 forms on the same page just not 2 forms inside each ohter.... what you are requesting is done by updating the database with the first button and then pull out that infomation from the database to the ohter submit button...

You will need two forms

 

The first form will enter in the users information into the database

 

Then is your second form you can query the databse for all the users information. Then display that in your form.

<?php

if(submit){

  update database

 

  $data = database query

}

 

 

?>

 

<form>

<input submit>

</form>

 

<form>

<input value="data" submit2>

</form>

Why do you need to pull the users info back in a form please?

 

 

Make's no sence becouse the user then can change the current pulled info....

 

 

or are you trying to get the info into another database table

so the user can change the info.......

 

I think it best you just tell the user the info overwise this get very messy...

 

so in essance update both tables and tell the user the result of the other table...
