It would be much simpler and cleaner to use Javascript to modify the

action attribute onClick.
Not for me... I don't know a lick of javascript :)
But I am curious, what do you mean by cleaner? Simpler to me varies
depending on the person.... I'm just curious at this point :)

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;
}
Yes, something like this except it would be $_POST. Your form/
buttons
would be something like:
<form method="POST" action="process.php">
..........
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="add">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="update">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="delete">
</form>
And then process.php with a switch or something using the value of
$_POST['submit'].
