Re: submit form to php script problem

Your idea will still work - send it to a script that reads the name of the submit button and then calls the processing code either as a function in the same file or from a file that you specify in an include or require statement in your processing file. The different processing scripts don't need to be separate 'pages' that you have to submit to. ..michael..
