Two Submit Buttons > One Page

[cheyner11]

I need some help putting two seperate submit values on one page.

I am building a chart program, that selects symbols from different exchanges and puts them into "exchange specific catagories" in the form of drop-down boxes.

This is done using PHP and mySQL. I have everything set up, and working when dealing with only one variable (ex. Toronto exchange). When I add a second field (NYSE) and another submit button, all this data is screwed up.

Relevant info:

I am posting variable ($tsx) to my chart template "analysis.php".
This works great when only one drop down box is in place. How do I distinguish that there will be seperate forms, and only one submit button is used for one seperate drop down box.

Your help is appreciated.

Have you tried using different names for each submit button, and putting each in different forms?

Like this:

<?php
if(isset($_POST('submit1'))
{
   //Do what button 1 does
}
if(isset($_POST('submit2'))
{
   //Do what button 2 does
}
?>

//In html body:
<form name="form1">
<input type="submit" name="submit1" value="Submit 1" />
</form>

<form name="form2">
<input type="submit" name="submit2" value="Submit 2 />
</form>
