RE: [PHP] submit form to php script problem

You'll have to use header()if you want to do it server side. <input type='submit' name='submit' value='page1'> <input type='submit' name='submit' value='page2'> <input type='submit' name='submit' value='page3'> $_POST['submit'] will exist and be one of the pages. Switch($_POST['submit']) Case "page1": Header("Location: http://www.example.com/page1.php"); Etc... The trick is passing the form variables. If you use GET for your form, you can recreate the query string and put it in the address in the header() call (then change _POST to _GET, of course). Or you can try entering the entire $_POST array into the session and handle it on page1, page2, etc... <? Session_start(); If(isset($_POST['submit']) { $_SESSION['POST'] = $_POST; switch($_POST['submit']) { case "Page1": header("location: http://www.example.com/page1.php"); ... Hope that helps or gives you an idea... ---John Holmes... > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Colvin [mailto:mark.colvin@ccmltd.co.uk] > Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2002 8:33 AM > To: Php (E-mail) > Subject: [PHP] submit form to php script problem > > I have a form with three submit buttons on it.
