In the first form include a hidden field that identifies the form when
you are checking the post values after submission. This way you know
exactly what form was submitted. Second if the first form has been
submitted then you know that you need to present the second form also.
THe second form should also have a hidden field so that it may be
identified upon submission. In this way you can detect which form was
submitted (submit buttons are problematic for determining which form was
submitted). Then when you detect that the second form was submitted you
can handle it's data as you please and then only present the first form.
A basic example follows (completely unchecked for typos/errors):
And of course it had errors :) See below...
?php
$submittedForm = null;
if( isset( $_POST['formSubmitted'] ) )
{
$submittedForm = $_POST['formSubmitted'];
if( $_POST['formSubmitted'] == 'form1' )
{
// do something with its data.
}
else
if( $_POST['formSubmitted'] == 'form2' )
{
// do something with its data.
}
}
?
form name=form1 method=post action=?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?
input type=hidden value=form1 /
Should be:
input type=hidden name=formSubmitted value=form1 /
select name=game
option value=11/option
option value=22/option
option value=33/option
option value=../option
/select
input type=submit name=continue value=Continue /
/form
?php
if( $submittedForm == 'form1' )
{
?
form name=form2 method=post action=?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?
input type=hidden value=form2 /
Should be:
input type=hidden name=formSubmitted value=form2 /
select name=blah
option value=fooFoo/option
option value=feeFee/option
option value=fiiFii/option
option value=fohFoh/option
option value=fumFum/option
/select
input type=submit name=continue value=Continue /
/form
?php
}
?
Cheers,

A basic example follows (completely unchecked for typos/errors): -snip- Rob's most excellent code. To expand, one could also run the self referencing loop through a switch statement controlled by the hidden value and have as many forms as you wanted. I do this all the time. tedd -- --- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
