Dear List -
I would like to have two(2) forms in one PHP script. I would like
to have the forms appear sequentially; ie, that the first form would
appear, the data would be entered, and then the second form would
appear, the data would be entered, and the script would exit.
The code below displays both forms simultaneously. After the data
is entered for the first form, the second form appears again. After
the data is entered for the second form, the script displays the
statement "" from the first form.
Would you please help me correct the script so that it will perform
as required.
Thanks.
Hi Ethan,
did you read my post to you on Friday?
If you want to fix your code, you'll have to scrutinize it, carefully,
line by line. Read docs, and stare at every line until you understand
what it is doing. It is not very coherent.. but at the least, it
looks to me that, this:
if ( !isset($_POST['cat'])) //&& $_POST['submit'] === 'Submit Kitten' )
{
echo <<<HTML
<form method="post" onsubmit="catdo();">
Enter your kitten's name: <br />
<input type="text" name="cat" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Kitten" />
</form>
HTML;
}
..will fire every time $_POST['cat'] is not set... and that is at the
beginning, *AND* after the 1st form is submit, right?
If you do not want that to fire when user first comes in, then you
have to change that code line's logic.
..meanwhile...
I had imagined you starting over with something coherent and bare-
bones.. like:
(upload this and try it out... then fill it out with your real
code... if you like.)
