Two Forms, one handle.php

[Calgaryalberta]

I have two html forms on my page. One is for users to enter their email address in the top left corner and hit 'submit' and it adds them to our mailing list. The other form is within a table, and is a login.

 

Instead of having the login use loginhandle.php  and the email for use  emailhandle.php  is it possible just to  have one php handle form, for both of these scripts? Right now I have two seperate handle.php for each form. The problem is, when I try and and use the email form it works fine using emailhandle.php, but when I try and use the login and click 'submit' it is looking for emailhandle.php, when it should be looking for loginhandle.php. I will be glad to post the main_page.htm upon request  but it is pretty long, for now I have posted the emailhandle.php and the loginhandle.php - Any tips would be great

 

emailhandle.php

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("****","****","****") or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("login", $con);

$sql="INSERT INTO subscribe (email, forename, surname, user) VALUES ('".$_POST['email']."','".$_POST['forename']."','".$_POST['surname']."','".$_POST['mltype']."')";
$query = mysql_query($sql,$con) or die('Error: ' . mysql_error());

if ($query)
{
  echo "You Have Now Been Added To Our Mailing List";mysql_close($con);
}
else
{
  echo "Not added.";
}
?>

 

 

loginhandle.php

<?php
$host="****"; // Host name 
$username="****"; // Mysql username 
$password="****"; // Mysql password 
$db_name="****"; // Database name
$tbl_name="****"; // Table name 

// Connect to server and select databse.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); 
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");

// username and password sent from signup form 
$myusername=$_POST['myusername']; 
$mypassword=$_POST['mypassword']; 

$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);

// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$count=@mysql_num_rows($result);
// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row

if($count==1){
// Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "members/login_successful.php"
session_register("myusername");
session_register("mypassword"); 
header("location:members/login_successful.php");
}
else {
echo "Wrong Username or Password";
}
?>

Oh and on my html page, I do have one form looking for

emailhandle.php

 

and the other form looking for

loginhandle.php

 

But on the login, when clicking the submit button it is looking for emailhandle.php

[jkewlo]

yes it is possible

 

you want the page to refer to it self

 

and create the function

 

id say take a look at Jpmaster77 google him his script is a good reference to the functions of the $self

I have the same problem but can't find the reference to Jpmaster 77.. can you post a link?

Depends on how you do it... if you have a form building class it would be fairly easy... otherwise you could simply give the submit buttons different names, and on the handle file:

 

if ($_POST['submitLogin']) {

 

  // do login handle

 

} elseif ($_POST['submitEmail']) {

 

  // do email handle

 

}
