The key is to look at the value of the submit button. This needs to
be unique.
Change around your logic a little and you will have it.
<?php
// if form not yet submitted
// display form
if ( isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['submit'] === 'Submit' ) {
// process form input
// split date value into components
$dateArr = explode('/', $_POST['dob']);
// calculate timestamp corresponding to date value
$dateTs = strtotime($_POST['dob']);
// calculate timestamp corresponding to 'today'
$now = strtotime('today');
// check that the value entered is in the correct format
if ( sizeof($dateArr) != 3 ) {
die('ERROR: Please enter a valid date of birth');
}
// check that the value entered is a valid date
if ( !checkdate($dateArr[0], $dateArr[1], $dateArr[2]) ) {
die('ERROR: Please enter a valid date of birth');
}
// check that the date entered is earlier than 'today'
if ( $dateTs >= $now ) {
die('ERROR: Please enter a date of birth earlier than today');
}
// calculate difference between date of birth and today in days
// convert to years
// convert remaining days to months
// print output
$ageDays = floor(($now - $dateTs) / 86400);
$ageYears = floor($ageDays / 365);
$ageMonths = floor(($ageDays - ($ageYears * 365)) / 30);
echo "You are approximately $ageYears years and $ageMonths
months old.";
} else if ( isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['submit'] === 'Submit
Kitten' ) {
$name_cat = $_POST['cat'];
echo "Your Kitten is $name_cat";
} else {
echo <<<HTML
<form method="post" action="agecalc3.php">
Enter your date of birth, in mm/dd/yyyy format: <br />
<input type="text" name="dob" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<br /><br />
<form method="post" action="agecalc3.php">
Enter your kitten's name: <br />
<input type="text" name="cat" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Kitten" />
</form>
HTML;
}
?>

Jim -
Thanks.
Would you please look at the code you wrote again. I must have
botched it, because both the age and kitten form still are on the
same page. The age page should appear, the data should be accepted
and then the kitten page should appear.
