I have a form with three submit buttons on it. I would like the form 'action' to be dependant on which submit button the user pressed i.e. redirect to one of three php script files. Is there any way of doing this without using client side scripting? I tried the code below where $name corresponds to one of the submit button names, but I realise this won't work as the form would have to be sent to the server before $name could be determined. Any other thoughts would be appreciated. <form action="<? switch ($name) { case search: ?>searchoutput.php<? break; case add: ?>addoutput.php<? break; case admin: ?>adminoutput.php<? break; } ?>" method="post"> Thanks in advance Mark **************************************************** This e-mail is intended for the recipient only and may contain confidential information.
