Not sure I would get stuck on two actions (which implies two forms on a page, perfectly legal, but you need to use JavaScript and hidden fields if the two forms need to submit the same data elements). You might find an easier approach would be to place two submit buttons on the same form (with one action) and have that routine recognize which submit button was pressed, either by looking at the name if(is_set($_POST["buttonname"])) xxxxx or the value (also uses as button text) if($_POST["go"] == "1st button") xxxx elseif($_POST["go"] == "2nd button") xxxx In this example both buttons have the same name. hope this gives you a few more options.

Hi there, I realize this is a group for PHP, but this question is related. What I want to do is have one action in a form execute if the user clicks on one button, and another action execute if the user clicks on another button. The actions will point to PHP programs. Can someone fill me in on what the HTML is for this. I can't remember.
