Is there a way??

[Cleibe Souza]

Ok, two forms that submit to the same page. Is there a way (on the
receiving page) to know which form info came from??

I tried to give the submit buttons different names but doesn't work.
Like that:

if($HTTP_POST_V ARS[submit] = 'monday')
{
echo "from monday";
}


Any thoughts??

Yes, correct your coding:

if ($HTTP_POST_VAR S['submit'] == 'monday')

well, you coud have a hidden field in both named "postSource " and set it to
different value in different forms.

But not like that :-))

Try like this, where the two buttons have the same name:

HTML
* <form ... >
* <input type="submit" name="submit" value="monday"/>
* </form>
* ...
* <form ... >
* <input type="submit" name="submit" value="tuesday"/>
* </form>

and PHP
* if (isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['submit'] == 'monday') {
* echo 'from monday';
* }


or, having buttons with different names:
HTML
* <form ... >
* <input type="submit" name="monday"/>
* </form>
* ...
* <form ... >
* <input type="submit" name="tuesday"/>
* </form>

and PHP
* if (isset($_POST['monday'])) {
* echo 'from monday';
* }

PHP would have intrepreted the bare string as 'submit' so that's not the
problem. I think the name of the submit is 'monday', hence the code should
be

if($HTTP_POST_V ARS['monday'])
{
echo "from monday";
}
else {
echo "not from monday";
}

You may be right, he didn't post the HTML. The problem I was pointing out
was the ASSIGNMENT (=) in the if instead of EQUALITY (==)
