Integrating multiple php files

[Alex]

Hi, I'll be as brief and clear as possible.
- I have one base file which displays few checkboxes and 3 buttons.
- depending on which button is clicked I must invoke different php
script (3 different php files - one for each button)
- I have to pass checkboxes values ( all are in array checkbox[] ) to
one of the 3 scripts.

How would I do that? That's something like invoking each script with
$_POST[]. Do I use echo "get_file_conte nts(
scriptname.php? checkbox[]=$_POST['checkbox']&checkbox1=$_PO ST[checkbox1])"
?


Each script works fine if I implement checkboxes right into it. But I'm
confused on how to pass an array (of checkboxes) to a different script.

Regards,

[Alex]

Let me clarify. When I use <form action="filenam e.php> I actually must
invoke 3 different forms depending on which button was clicked. How can
I achive something like double form action?

Call an intermediate page (say foo.php) which then coordinates the
calling of forms a, b, and c.

Use JavaScript.

Or put the buttons on different forms. (But solution above is better
'cos you handle the other data in the form just submitted /then/ go to
the next one.)

Re: Integrating multiple php files

Thank you guys. I actually worked out a solution proposed by David
Haynes. I used an intermideate file and used reqire() statements
depending on which button was pressed.

another method is to use the switch function
case 1 include a.php
case 2 include b.php
etc...
