[Resolved] Two form in one page

ahpaul

I have two forms inside a page

<form name="invoice" action="Invoice.php" method="get">
<form name="item" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF ?>" method="post">
<input type="text" size="8" name="invno" value="<?php echo($invno); ?>">
<input type="text" size="12" name="invdate" value="<?php echo($invdate); ?>">


<?php
	if (isset($row)) {
		$j = $row;
		$j++;
	}
	else {
		$j = 1;
	}
?>

<?php		
	for ($i = 0; $i < $j; $i++) {
		$k = $i + 1;
		echo ('<tr>');
		echo ('<td>');
		echo ($k);
		echo ('</td>');
		echo ('<td>');
		echo ('<input type="text" size="30" name="desc['.$k.']" value="'.$desc[$k].'">');
		echo ('</td>');
		echo ('<td>');
		echo ('<input type="text" size="2" name="qty['.$k.']" value="'.$qty[$k].'">');
		echo ('</td>');
		echo ('<td>');
		echo ('<input type="text" size="10" name="price['.$k.']" value="'.$qty[$k].'">');
		echo ('</td>');
		echo ('</tr>');
	}
?>
<tr>
	<td colspan="4" align="right">
		<input type="hidden" name="row" value="<?php echo($k); ?>">
		<input type="submit" value="Add One More Row">
	</td>
</tr>
</form>
<input type="submit">
</form>

for the inner <form>, I used it to add a new row to the list, but also keep all data in the page

and for the outter <form>, I want it to act like normal redirect form
whereas this <submit> will direct me to the <invoice.php> (all variable inside this page should be send to another page)

the problem is I cannot make the outter <form> to be functional

any help please?

thanks

I don't think <form> tags nest that way very well.

I would use a second submit button with a different value and process the info in the same script or pass it on to another script using sessions.

this is a compleatly differnt concept.. what this does is change where the form is posting to instead of trying to use multiple forms... this uses javascript another option that would not use javascript would be to use a second form with all hidden feilds, but you'll need to not overlap the forms and have rednundant data
EDITED TO SAY: I also do not reccomend using get for this as get is MUCH less secure and has a very small limit for your multiple rows

<form name="invoice" action="Invoice.php" method="post"> 
<input type="text" size="8" name="invno" value="<?php echo($invno); ?>"> 
<input type="text" size="12" name="invdate" value="<?php echo($invdate); ?>"> 
<TABLE>

<?php 
    if (isset($row)) { 
        $j = $row; 
        $j++; 
    } 
    else { 
        $j = 1; 
    } 
?> 

<?php         
    for ($i = 0; $i < $j; $i++) { 
        $k = $i + 1; 
        echo ('<tr>'); 
        echo ('<td>'); 
        echo ($k); 
        echo ('</td>'); 
        echo ('<td>'); 
        echo ('<input type="text" size="30" name="desc['.$k.']" value="'.$desc[$k].'">'); 
        echo ('</td>'); 
        echo ('<td>'); 
        echo ('<input type="text" size="2" name="qty['.$k.']" value="'.$qty[$k].'">'); 
        echo ('</td>'); 
        echo ('<td>'); 
        echo ('<input type="text" size="10" name="price['.$k.']" value="'.$qty[$k].'">'); 
        echo ('</td>'); 
        echo ('</tr>'); 
    } 
?> 
<tr> 
    <td colspan="4" align="right"> 
        <input type="hidden" name="row" value="<?php echo($k); ?>"> 
        <input type="submit" value="Add One More Row" OnClick="document.invoice.action = '<?php echo $PHP_SELF ?>'"> 
    </td> 
</tr> 
<input type="submit"> 
</form> </TABLE>

How to mark it as resolved? I've change the subject but it only changed my internal subject?

stolzyboy

i marked it resolved for you, but for future posts, there is a link at the bottom that says "Mark Thread Resolved" and only the thread starter and mods can mark it resolved
