Send form data to twoseparate PHP files

Anon

I'm trying to work out how to send data through FORM ACTION to two separate php files but don't seem to be able to make this work. On one file, the form changes the information in a page seen by the user (changes names in a fantasy football team actually) while the other file will send their changes to me via email.

Both php files work well with the form file separately. And they work if I include them both on the same php file. The trouble with that is every time someone calls the file to look at their team, or refreshes it, the email php script is activated and sends me an email and I don't want this to happen.

I've tried using a comma to separate the files like you can in mailto for different email addresses thus:

but this won't work.

Can anyone give me any ideas? I would be grateful for any advice.

Cheers

Well it wouldn't work, because HTTP works on a "one request, one URL" principle.

Why not split the pages into two according to their tasks: One for producing viewable output and one for doing emails? Then if the user is just looking, no email gets sent. When the script to send an email is executed, it runs, the email is sent, and then it uses header() to direct the browser back to the viewing page.

Or you could send it to a page blah.php

inside that you could just include the two files
eg

//blah.php

include(update.php);
include(emailme.php);

hope this helps

Only that sends an email every time the page is refreshed.
