Cancel Query

[niall_buckley]

Hello,

I am writing a canteen ordering system, near the end it gives the user the option to either submit or cancel their order..but i am having trouble with the cancel...when the user submits their order it is automatically inserted into a database and they are sent to a new finished.php page, they are thanked and logged out...What I want is when the user hits the cancel button the order is cleared(nothing inserted into the database) and they are also sent to finished.php page and they are thanked and logged out. I can't manage to do it..Can you please help..

Thanks Niall

Have two submit buttons with different values set to it. Then on the page that does the process act based on those values.

EX:

<input type="submit" name="confirm" value="Submit">
<input type="submit" name="confirm" value="Cancel">

on the next php page

if ($POST['confirm'] == "Submit")
{
// Add to database
}
else if ($POST['confirm'] == "Cancel")
{
// Don't Add to database
}

or you can use 2 submit buttons....

if ($_POST['submit'])
{
  //do submit stuff
}
if ($_POST['cancel'])
{
  //do cancel stuff
}
