nielsplus

hi thanx for reading

problem:
i create a table and at the end of each row i have 2 buttons.
one button is update and the other delete.

IF i press update or delete it wil go to update.php.
i want it like this:
update --> update.php
delete ---> delete.php
can anybody see what i am doing Wrong.

here is the code!

<table width="93%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0 ">
<form name="form" method="post" action="update.php">
<form name="form1" method="post" action="delete.php">
<td><input name="Lid_id" type="text" id="Lid_id" value="<?=$db_Lid_id;?>" size="5" maxlength="100"></td>
<td><input name="Achternaam" type="text" id="Achternaam" value="<?=$db_Achternaam;?>" size="10" maxlength="50"></td>
<td width="5%" > <input type="submit" name="update" value="update"></td>
<td width="5%" > <input type="submit" name="delete" value="delete"></td>
</form>
</table>

thnx

you have declared 2 forms. You should have the form action only once. so when the update.php is executed you then test which button was clicked.
i,e put this code in update.php:

if ($_POST['submit'] == "update" {
update code }

if ($_POST['submit'] == "delete" {
delete code }

this will work!

thnx for the reply.

i almost got it,

but i when i click on update i want to go to the page update.php

if ($_POST[update]) {"update.php"; }

if ($_POST[delete]) {"delete.php"; }

any ideas?

The problem is you have 2 forms declared.
insead of a update.php and delete.php have a 'whatever'.php
with the update.php and delete.php as functions in that script and execute the right one dependant on the clicked button.
or even have
in in the 'whatever'.php
if($POST['submit'] == "update") {
Require"update.php";}
if($POST['submit'] == "delete") {
Require"delete.php";}

these update.php and delete.php should be located in the 'includes' folder.

as i said you have 2 forms and what ever button you click, the browser will go to the action of the first form declared with the $POST var set to the button clicked.

I dont use 2 forms anymore, i have one form 2 buttons.
I want the button to redirect me to page i want.

this opens anyscreen.php above the current screen.

if ($_POST[update]) {Require"anyscreen.php"; }

if ($_POST[delete]) {Require"anyscreen2.php"; }

so i hope i am clear this time.

on click button redirect me to another page. (i dont wanna see te current page)

thnx again😃

Hi,
can you use just one table, like this ?

<table width="93%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0 "> 

<form name="form" method="post" action=""> 

<td><input name="Lid_id" type="text" id="Lid_id" value="<?=$db_Lid_id;?>" size="5" maxlength="100"></td> 
<td><input name="Achternaam" type="text" id="Achternaam" value="<?=$db_Achternaam;?>" size="10" maxlength="50"></td> 
<td width="5%" > <a href="javascript:document.form.action='update.php';document.form.submit();">update</a></td> 
<td width="5%" ><a href="javascript:document.form.action='delete.php';document.form.submit();">delete</a></td> 
</form> 
</table>

see you

p.s: don't worry, but put an automatic blank in "javascript", there isn't... 😕

Put an hidden
and change the value before submit post.
Use this value with location header:

<td><input name="Lid_id" type="text" id="Lid_id" value="<?=$db_Lid_id;?>" size="5" maxlength="100"></td>
<td><input type=hidden value="" name=targ>
<input name="Achternaam" type="text" id="Achternaam" value="<?=$db_Achternaam;?>" size="10" maxlength="50"></td>
<td width="5%" > <a href="java script:document.form.targ='update.php';document.form.submit();">update</a></td>
<td width="5%" ><a href="java script:document.form.targ='delete.php';document.form.submit();">delete</a></td>
</form>
</table>

😕 😕 :eek: 😕
Why when post "javascript" split in two words?!?
It's crazy!!!
