Changing dinamicly the form's action

[Anon]

How do I change the action form tag?

For example

echo("<form name='form_enter' action=");

And I have four submit buttons, but everyone go to differents pages:

<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME=btn VALUE='A'>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME=btn VALUE='B'>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME=btn VALUE='C'>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME=btn VALUE='D'>

When someone clicks in button A it must open the A.php page. So, the action must change.

Thanks

you could do something like this

<?

if($btn != null)
{
header("Location: $btn.php");
}

?>

and have your action goto the same script

if you are talking about something that the client does changes the forms action, you either have 4 forms, or you change the forms action using javascript based on the submit button... ie:

<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME=btn VALUE='A' onclick="thisFormName.action = somewhere.php">
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME=btn VALUE='B' onclick="thisFormName.action = somewhereElse.php">

Hi
try this, put an action page of decide.php

<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME=btn1 VALUE='A'>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME=btn2 VALUE='B'>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME=btn3 VALUE='C'>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME=btn4 VALUE='D'>

//decide.php
<?
if ($btn1) {
header("location: your_btn1_page.php")
}
if ($btn2) {
header("location: your_btn2_page.php")
}

if ($btn3) {
header("location: your_btn3_page.php")
}
if ($btn4) {
header("location: your_btn4_page.php")
}
?>

The problem with this and Brad's solution is that the rest of the form's values get lost when you re-write the header, no matter whether it is a get or a post form. For example, I have two pages, testing.php with contains:

<?
switch ($sub) {
case "1": header("location:test.php");
case "2": header("location:test.php");
case "3": header("location:test.php");
case "4": header("location:test.php");
}
?>
<form method=post>
<input type="submit" name="sub" value="1">
<input type="submit" name="sub" value="2">
<input type="submit" name="sub" value="3">
<input type="submit" name="sub" value="4">

</form>

and test.php which only contains:
<?=$sub?>

and $sub is lost in the header rewrite.

So use sessions.
