Form: 2 actions with one event

ureck

Hello
I am trying to write a php script with a form which can change 2 pages with one button-event:
the contents of the variable should be shown on the sending page itself and on another page as well.
The purpose is that I want to ease the job of actualization of a page for a non-professional who just wants to add or change few text on his page from time to time.
But before running a complex Content Management System, I thought this solution would be sufficient.

Any help most welcome!

Hi Ureck, Have you tried directing your button with a target="parent" action to another script which then alters the two pages rather than just trying to do it with a button.
i.e:

<Form action="editpages.php" method="POST" target="parent">
<<YOUR FORM CODE>>
<input type="submit" value="Edit page">

--editpages.php--

<?
<<Your code to change content of first page>>
<<Your code to change content of second page>>
header("Location: <<The page you want them to see after they post>>");//this will redirect them to the page you want them to see after performing the alterations
?>
<HTML>
Refreshing.....
</HTML>

Thanks for your help,
unfortunately I do not know exactly how it should work. Here is the script part. To divide into 2 steps is of course simple. But what I want is, that a person who wants to edit a page can also see the former version on the very same page! Which makes it easier to make changes...
it was just an idea which could ideally look like this:
