Hi all. I realize this is more an HTML question than PHP but I'm
sure someone here can help.
I have several forms with lots (dozens) of text inputs. If the user
presses the "Update" button I want the form handled by "update.php"
but if they press "Delete" it needs to be handled by "delete.php" or
"add.php" and so-on depending on the button they press.
But when establishing the form I can only have <form method="POST"
action="delete.php"> or "add.php" or whatever.
Is there a way to direct the content of the form do a different
handler depending on the button?
I know I can use javascript to direct to a constructed URL and
append ?name=smith&address=hishouse&telephone=28376.....and so on
but this is not practical when there are dozens of entries....the
URL becomes massive. I prefer to use "POST" and then use PHP to
extract the POST array.
Couldn't you use a switch statement in a process.php file?
<?PHP
$var = $_GET['switchvar'];
switch($var) {
case "add";
include("add.php");
break;
case "delete";
include("delete.php");
break;
default;
echo "Nothing selected";
break;
}
?>
Or something along those lines at least... I think it's a dispatcher
script...
about half way down on this[1] page is what I'm describing :)
