Help Please! submiting 2 forms with 1 click

[johnyendle]

Hi,

I am trying to submit 2 forms on the same page at the same time with just the one button.

The 1st form INSERTS into MySQL DB. <form... action="<?php echo $editFormAction; ?>" blahblah

The 2nd form post through to the next page <form... action="next_page.php"> blah blah blah

I have tried using the following JavaScript but to no avail.

<script language="JavaScript">
function submitForms()
{
window.document.form1.submit();
window.document.form2.submit();
}
</script>

<a href="JavaScript:submitForms()">submit page</a>

If you can help it would be appreciated

Just combine the two forms into one. Make them look like two forms if you need to, then handle the data as needed from either form.

Why don´t you try joining the two forms in an only one and when you load the "next_page.php" make the insert into the database at the beginning of the page.

The result is similar doing in this way but perhaps you don´t want to do this for another reasons.

Well, in any case this may help you.
