Buttons to two different pages in the same form

[markroworth]

Hi there,

I want to create a form with two buttons on that navigate to two different pages. The code I have at the moment looks like this:

<form action="login.php" method="post">
<table rows=2>
<tr>
<td><h5>Username</h5></td>
<td><input type="text" name="UID"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><h5>Password</h5></td>
<td><input type="password" name="PWD"/></td>
</tr>
<table>
<input type="submit" name="submit_Login" value="Login"/> or <input type="submit" name="submit_register" value="Register"/>
</form>

What I really need is a different form action for each button. Any idea how to achieve this? Thanks,

Mark Roworth

The form action will be executed for both buttons. However, you can capture which button is pressed by using the following code at the start of your login.php script. Depending on which key is pressed, you can take either Login or Register action. In this sample I echo which key was pressed.
[PHP]<?php
if ($_POST['submit_Login'] == 'Login') {
echo 'You pressed LOGIN';
// do your login processing
}
else if ($_POST['submit_register'] == 'Register') {
echo 'You pressed REGISTER';
// do your register processing
}
// otherwise it will display the form again
?>
<form action="login.php" method="post">
<table rows=2>
<tr>
<td><h5>Username</h5></td>
<td><input type="text" name="UID"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><h5>Password</h5></td>
<td><input type="password" name="PWD"/></td>
</tr>
<table>
<input type="submit" name="submit_Login" value="Login"/>
<input type="submit" name="submit_register" value="Register"/>
</form>[/PHP]
