hi guys,

i have a page that i am developing which has a few forms on it (or plans to)

i am at the stage of adding the second form, i have a conditional 'submit' on the processing page.

but when i submit, both of the conditionals process the form attributes.

i may not be explaining very well so here is the code:

 

<html>
<head>
<title>database test</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>currnt entries</h2>

<form action="addentry.php" method="get">
Title:
<input type="text" name="title">
Content:
<input type="text" name="content">
<input type="submit" name="add_entry" value="DO IT!">
</form>

<form action="addentry.php" method="get">
Title:
<input type="text" name="title">
Content:
<input type="text" name="content">
<input type="submit" name="add_entry_two" value="DO IT! 2">
</form>
</body>
</html>

 

<?php include("includes/mysqlconnect.php") ?>

<?php
if($_REQUEST['submit']!='add_entry')
{  
	$title=$_REQUEST['title'];
	$content=$_REQUEST['content'];
	$query ="INSERT INTO test (title,content)";
	$query.=" VALUES ('$title','$content')";
	$result=mysql_query($query);
	if ($result) echo "<b>Successfully Posted!</b>";
	else echo "<b>ERROR: unable to post.</b>";
}
if($_REQUEST['submit']!='add_entry_two')
{  
	$title=$_REQUEST['title'];
	$content=$_REQUEST['content'];
	$query ="INSERT INTO test_two (title,content)";
	$query.=" VALUES ('$title','$content')";
	$result=mysql_query($query);
	if ($result) echo "<b>Successfully Posted! TWO</b>";
	else echo "<b>ERROR: unable to post.</b>";
}
else
{	
	echo "NOT WORKING BUD";
}
?>

 

thanks in anticipation

Well, you're doing it wrong. You want to request 'add_entry' and 'add_entry_two', since those are the names of the submit fields. Or you could change the names to 'submit', and have different values to check for. If you stick with the former, simply do this:

 

<?php
if($_REQUEST['add_entry']) {
// bla bla
}
?>

 

If you want to check the values of the submit buttons (if that's what you tried):

 

<?php
if($_REQUEST['add_entry'] == 'DO IT!') {
// bla bla
}
?>

 

...

 

else

{

echo "NOT WORKING BUD";

}

 

haha ;D
