Can a form have more than one action?

[mandali]

I have a form that collects input and emails it to a small group of people. Now I want to collect email addresses with the same form and put them into a database for future reference. Is it possible to do both of these things with one form? I have some code that I use to input form info into a database and the action for that is: <form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF?>">

The form that I have been using to collect the input for the emails has this action:
<form method="post" action="/cgi-sys/formmail.pl">
Is it possible to somehow combine the actions? Or is there a better way to accomplish this with just one form?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

You can't have a single form send its data to two separate locations: this would mean that the browser wouldn't know where to go next. What you could do is create a script which gets called by the form (through the action tag) and does both functions, if possible. Or you could send the data to one place, then at the end of that page redirect to the next one, sending all the data with it.

Thanks, that helps. I decided to add a link to a php page that collects the name and email address and adds it to the database and left the original form the way it was to collect the info to be sent by email.
