how to use form with two buttons

I have a form on which I have two buttons 'add' and 'delete'. I have to take seperate action for both of the button. How can I do that. Please give an example.

 

maybe it will help

make to submit button like these:

<FORM method="post" action="filter.php">

<INPUT name="submitAsAdd" type="submit" value="Add">
<INPUT name="submitAsDelete" type="submit" value="delete">

</FORM>

PHP:

and then make a filter file to check what the angine has to do and redirect it to the processor file.

//filter.php:
<?PHP
if ($_POST[submitAsAdd])
{
header ("location:add.php");
}
if ($_POST[submitAsDelete])
{
header ("location:delete.php");
}
?>

PHP:

i hope it helps

 

Don't forget the quotes around your array index names. And also use isset() to avoid E_NOTICES.

 

@nico_swd: is that different between i use ' or "? and then where should i state the isset()?

 

No matter which quotes you use. Read the "Do's and don'ts section here;
www.php.net/language.types.array

And the isset() should be used as followed:

if (isset($_POST['submitAsAdd']))
{

PHP:

www.php.net/isset

 

You can use Get also in place of post but that will make it more unsecure

hey junandya, thanks for the idea.. I've often dealt with that problem with javascript on the form page to set a new action on the form, but I think I will use this way in the future, it seems much easier Thanks!
