Loading different forms with different buttons

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the boards, I just have a simple question to ask.

Is there a way I can have 2 buttons in a php file that load 2 different forms?

Say I have a script, Form1.php. If Button1 is pressed, Form2.php is loaded, and if Button2 is pressed, Form3.php is loaded?

This seems like such a simple concept, but I don't know how to do it because I get confused with the whole form action thing.

Yes its possible its more of a HTML thing though unless you wish to check the button name e.g.

<input type="buttom" name="test" value=" Hit Me " onclick="location=form1.php;" /> <input type="buttom" name="test2" value=" Hit Me " onclick="location=form2.php;" />

You could probably make it an actual form which is better than using JS.

I like to do it with evaluating the button name.

<form action="thispage.php" method="post">
<input type="submit" name="button1" value=" Click Me 1 ">
<input type="submit" name="button2" value=" Click Me 2 ">
</form>

<?php
if (isset($_POST["button1"])) {
    include("form1.php");
} else
if (isset($_POST["button2"])) {
    include("form2.php");
}
?>
