It's pretty standard to check which button was pressed by what values
are sent from the browser.

That's just how it's done.

I got no clue what all the QuickForm and validate() stuff is doing,
but you may not really care about validate() here unless $Filter ==
'B'...

So I'd maybe switch the order of the tests and put $Filter first.

Or maybe you always want validate() for A to run, even when they don't
click on A?

[PHP] Submit/Validate triggering problem.

[Uros Dukanac]

Dear anyone... :)

First, I hope I'm sending this message to correct address.
If this is not the case I'm apologizing for wasting your time, and I'm asking 
you to give me the right e-mail address.

=== GENERAL 
LAMP Environment
PEAR - HTML_QuickForm 3.2.4pl1 stable
Platform: SuSE 9.3
=

=== PROBLEM 
I have a following "problem" (don't know is this a bug or not):
I have one HTML page, two FORMS, two TEXT fields and two SUBMIT buttons - A 
and B.
When I click either A or B button to submit a form program enters in both
validate() parts - In A and in B so the result on screen from code below is:

In A Validate In B Validate
==

=== WHAT I WANT ===
I would like to enter in A part when I click on A submit button, and to enter 
in B part when I click on B submit button.
==

=== QUESTION AND FEW MORE INFO ===
I can make "workaround" by checking the value of $Filter (is it "A" or "B") to 
determine which button sent a request (see "Workaround code" after "Original 
code"), but it looks "dirty" to me, and I'm wondering why to do that if I 
already have two different instances of HTML_QuickForm assigned to two 
different variables $AForm and $BForm.
Why element from $BForm triggers $AForm->validate() and vice versa?
==

Thank you in advance.


Below is the code:
=== Original code ==
addElement("Text", "Name1", "Text1", array("size" => "30"));
$AForm->addElement("Submit", "AButton", "A");
if ($AForm->validate())
{
echo " In A Validate ";
}

// Create new instance - Form B
$BForm = new HTML_QuickForm("Form2", "POST");
$BForm->addElement("Text", "Name2", "Text2", array("size" => "30"));
$BForm->addElement("Submit", "BButton", "B");
if ($BForm->validate())
{
echo " In B Validate ";
}

// Display Forms
$AForm->display();
$BForm->display();
?>


=== Workaround code ==
addElement("Text", "Name1", "Text1", array("size" => "30"));
$AForm->addElement("Submit", "SButton", "A");
if ($AForm->validate() && Filter == "A")
{
echo " In A Validate ";
}

// Create new instance - Form B
$BForm = new HTML_QuickForm("Form2", "POST");
$BForm->addElement("Text", "Name2", "Text2", array("size" => "30"));
$BForm->addElement("Submit", "SButton", "B");
if ($BForm->validate() && Filter == "B")
{
echo " In B Validate ";
}

// Display Forms
$AForm->display();
$BForm->display();
?>
