how to associate each .php file with each buttons in a html form

[hongmei]

Hi,

I am new to php. I have the following questions about my first php page:

I have a HTML form with Save, Search, edit, clear buttons. I want to call individual php pages or files when I click each button. I can not put php file in action="...php" of the HTML form, since action field only can call one php file.

What should I do to achieve this goal?

Thanks a lot!

Easy! 😃

Ok, give each one a different name, save, edit, whatever.
Then, set the action to itself, or a php page, whatever. That php page does all the work - saving, editing, etc.

Just use an if statement to determine what they did...

if(isset($save))
{
// save was used to submit
}
elseif(isset($edit))
{
// edit was used to submit
}

Hi,

I have a HTML form with 3 buttons, Save, clear and search. I added action ="submitdata.php" to the form, then I wrote different php code for save and clear buttons, but when click search button, I want to invoke another search.php. What should I do?

Thanks
