multiple submit buttons

[Anon]

Is it possible to have multiple submit buttons that submits to different pages in just ONE form?

Yes, but you need to use javascript, I believe. Using onClick, call a function that sends the form to different pages based on the value of the submit button.

Hope this helps

Another way (if you don't want to use javascript) could be to
submit everything to the same page, and then have that page immeditely redirect the request to the proper page, depending on which submit button was pressed (you can give different values to the submit buttons).

it can be done w/ php ... simply have both forms action to the same page that they exist in and then have an if statement at the top of the page that redirects depending on which button was submitted ... ie.

<?
if ($button == "1") echo "1";
if ($button == "2") echo "2";
?>

<form method=get action=thispage.php>
<input type=submit name=button value=1>
</form>
<form method=get action=thispage.php>
<input type=submit name=button value=2>
</form>

something like that should do it

If you're in charge of everything (i.e. you're not trying to post to different pages that are external to your own web site) this might be a good time to rethink the overall structure. The very concept of "posting to different pages" reveals a static view of things that is completely unnecessary when the site is driven by PHP.

Hi,

I had to work around this problem quite a bit when I was developing an internal quote system for my store. For the most part I did what most everyone else has mentioned previously and just loaded to a single page that checked which button was pressed and then loaded the HTML for that page. I did it by typing HTML directly into the page or by using an 'include' statement that points to the HTML file that I wanted to load.
