One submit buttom for multi select boxes on a form

[Dave_Faulkner]

Hi All,

After having read through a few forums (including this one) and having no luck i thought id pose this question.

I have a form which has a few different fields. One keyword text box, and about three select boxes.

This form then passes the info to my php search page which displays the results based on the search criteria.

What i want to do is have 1 search button on the form, rather than have 1 search button for each field.

Can someone please point me in the right direction, or give me some hints on the type of thing i would need to do.

Many thanx

So, you have a few select drop downs and a submit button on one form. No problem!

Just use your script to find out which of the selects had a value (might be more than one, you decide what to do then). Use if(isset($drop1)) to check if there is a value. Some people set the blank or invalid option to -1 so they always get a value, and they know what to do.

Write a test page and see what happens.
