Two forms, two submit buttons, different actions

senthil

Hi,

I'm new to php. i created a sign-in and register page. I have two forms, one for new users registration and other for user login, both in the same page. It has two submit buttons. Each calls different page when clicked.

The registration form is working well. But when I click the submit button for login, it is not working.

Thanks

What do you mean "not working"?

The problem probably lies in test_login.php ...

Hi,

I dont think there is any problem with the test_login.php. Its almost the same as test_register.php.

Its not working, in the sense, if i click on the submit button for the login, nothing happens, the fields are cleared and the same page is displayed again. I dont think it is going to test_login.php page.

Thanks

yes, your script works fine for me. it must be in the other pages..

test_register.php or test_login.php
