if statment in get?

[robmann]

is it possaible to put a if statment in action of a form? If so how?
would like to be able to have the action go to a different page based on a selection made in the form or is there a better way to do this?

something like this
action=if "type"=a "insert_2RFS.php"
else "insert_RFS.php"

<form name="form3" method="get" action="insert_2RFS.php">

Instead of doing all that keep it simple and in action="process.php" then whwn the user clicks submit just check for the value of whatever it is and use a header on that page to continue processing
process.php

<?php
if(some value in form){
//do this
}
if (some other value){
//do that
} and so on
?>

Cant you just do something like this:

// file 1
<form name="form3" method="get" action="insert_2RFS.php">

// file 2 - insert_2RFS.php

if (isset($_REQUEST['choice']))
{
  $opt = $_REQUEST['choice'];
  // use a if or switch here
  if ($opt == ?)
  {
    // php code here for option 1
  }
  else
  {
     // php code here for option 2
  }

  // or switch
  switch ($opt == ?)
  {
    case 1:
    // php code here for option 1
    break;
    case 2:
    // php code here for option 2
    break;
    case N:
   // code
    break;
   default:
   // code
  }
}

Then the you can have several different outputs/layouts in one file.

Edit: took too long to write my post, so Houdini beat me to an answer :rolleyes:
