About FORMS, yes you can have multiple forms aslong as the dont mismatch, you can even assign names to the forms for them to remain distinct. like form name=bla . I think it might even be possible to get that formname and then see what you do with each form. The other way round with if statements or switches works well though.

[PHP] Multi-Step Script
Is it possible to use different parts of one php script for multiple html forms?

Re: [PHP] Multi-Step Script
Use switch with includes for each step.
switch()
{
case 1:
include(filestep1.php)
break;
case 2:
include(filestep2.php)
break;
default:
include(form.php)
}
but this way you can have a hierarchy
and possibly run form one section into the next..
switch($step)
{
case 1:
include(filestep1.php) //list products
case 2:
include(filestep2.php) //list categories
break;
default:
include(form.php) //show list of options.
}

What do you guys do? Mmm, that's pretty much how I do it. You can dynamically assign values to the Submit button as required and check the value of the Submit variable to determine what your next action might be. Couple this with some includes also based on the Submit value and voila. -- David Robley| WEBMASTER Mail List Admin RESEARCH CENTRE FOR INJURY STUDIES | http://www.nisu.flinders.edu.au/ AusEinet| http://auseinet.flinders.edu.au/ Flinders University, ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FW: [PHP] Multi-Step Script
use if statements
if( $submit ){
print "I love Montana";
put form #2 in here w/ action = $PHP_SELF make sure you set $submit2 to
some value
)
elseif( $submit2 ){
print "Part two of script";
}
else{
put your form in here w/ action= $PHP_SELF
}
This is a quicky but hopefully you get the idea. Just assign values to
different variables. Post the info back to $PHP_SELF and test for the
existence of those variables in your if statements. Your single php script
could span an unlimited number of pages (as far as the end user is
concerned).

Actually - do it in the reverse order, because then you can do error
checking and gracefully "drop back" to a previous step if there's an
error.
ie:
if ($step == 3)
{
// do stuff
}
if ($step == 2)
{
// do stuff
}
if (!$step)
{
// do stuff
}
