2 Submit buttons for one form?

Arc

I have a form that I need to go to two different places depending on which button was pressed.

I cant have 2 different forms because of the way the page is layed out.

I have a "GO" button which uses $PHP_SELF as the action of the form. But I just added a Delete button which will navigate the page to a delete page to delete the rows the user chose.

Is there some way i can make a form goto a certain depending on which button the user pushed?

Thanks!😃

do you want to use java script to solve it?

if you do:
- at buttons tags

onClick="this.form.action='action1.php'; this.form.submit();" and go on... got it?

if you dont want to use js, you will need to filter it at php:

if ($buttonname1 == 'Value1') {
  include('form_validator1.php'); // do action 1
} else if ($buttonname2 == 'Value2') {
  include('form_validator2.php'); // do action 2
} else {
  include('form.php'); // re-print form html
}
/*
in this case, user *needs* to click in some button, 
if they press enter, probaly no button will receive values.. 
you will need to change this peace of code to set some default value to action.

Well in the form definition tag leave the action blank and be sure to include a name for it:

<form action="" name="f">

Then, you need to use some javascript:

function sub(form, action)
{
  form.action=action;
}

And then the two submit buttons:

<input type="submit" value="Page One!" onClick="javascript:sub(f, 'page1.php')">
<input type="submit" value="Page Two!" onClick="javascript:sub(f, 'page2.php')">

You could always use 2 radios and one submit button, can't you? Then use one script with an IF...ELSE to determine how to handle the form.
