1 form have two buttons

[katherine]

Is php is scripting or object oriented language and if we want 2 button in form in html and v want that these two button on click open different urls.
How it is possible.
Thanks.

[dgrinberg]

hmmm... two questions in one...

I will leave the first part upto the experts, suffice to say that its both!!

The answer to the second question is, yes it is possible.

A button's value will only be passed when it is clicked on. So all you have to do is check if that button's value is empty or not.

it is possible but im not sure if this is the script that you are looking for

if (isset($_POST['BUTTON1']))

// do action here

if (isset($_POST['BUTTON2']))
// do action here

otherwise you can still use javascript

as an alternative

<?php
// this is "mybutt.php"

echo "myBUTT1 was pressed";
exit;
}

if (isset( $_POST[ "button2" ] )){
echo "myBUTT2 was pressed";

I got this from another forum.
A form can be submitted by hitting 'enter' and not using the buttons at all, so you have to take that into consideration:

---

What you need to do is to set different names for each submit image
button like this:

<input type="submit" name="type_1" value="Button 1">
<input type="submit" name="type_2" value="Button 2">

Then to check if the form was submitted try:

if(IsSet($type_1))
{
    echo "form was submitted by button 1.";
}
else
{
    if(IsSet($type_2))
    {
        echo "form was submitted by button 2.";
    }
    else
    {
        echo "form was not submitted by any of the known buttons";
    }
}

Say you have 2 different URL or pages at you website.
let us call them:
page1.php
page2.php
but can also be
http://www.google.com
http://www.microsoft.com

Most simple, just for use 2 button method.
Try this!!!
you can save it as
xxxxx.html or xxxxxx.php

<form action="page1.php">
<input type="submit" value="Goto my page 1"></form>

<form action="http://www.microsoft.com/">
<input type="submit" value="Goto  Bill Gates"></form>

It uses 2 forms in the same HTML page,
one goes to 1 and other goes to 2

Well,
I have submitted 2 different examples

1. One form 2 buttons
2. Two forms with 1 button in each

I will not submit example number 3. Sorry.

Quote from this forum Guidelines:
We will not write any scripts for you
But if YOU are writing YOUR own scripts we will do our best,
yes, most anything we can do,
to help you sort most any problem out.

so far you havent written a single php line
as far as I can see

This was what I had to do.
Nobody writes my PHP scripts for me .... 🙁
People are not nice .... :bemused:
People are bad to me .:queasy:

What you want is...

header('location:/page_on_your_site.php');

// and/or

header('location:http://www.ms-sucks.com/');

But honestly, I think you are looking for a javascript solution (your suggestion to use 'button').

[jansky]

if do you want to open 2 different target but one form

you can use javascript instead

<script>
function targeturl(formname,url)
{
formname.action=url;
formname.submit();
}
</script>

and lets say you have this form

<form name="form1" method="post" >

<input type="text" name="name1">
<input type="button" name="submit" value="submit1" onclick="targeturl(form1,'firstform.php')">
<input type="button" name="submit" value="submit2" onclick="targeturl(form1,'secondform.php')">

you can use this script as long as you are going to pass a field that a user entered in your form

otherwise

you can use php

// button selected
if (isset($_POST['button1'))

header("location : firstform.php");

if (isset($_POST['button2']))
header("location : secondform.php");

// in this case you will only redirect to that page without carrying over the fields inputted

<form name="form1" method="post" action="">

<input type="submit" name="button1" value="first button">
<input type="submit" name="button2" value="second button">
</form>
