newbie question

Another way to do it is to use only one form. If(submit = something){include(something.php3);} If(submit = somethingelse){include(somethingelse.php3);} <form action="test.php" method=POST> <--Code--> If(submit = somethingmore){include(somethingmore.php3);} <--If() can be inside or out side the form.--> <input type=submit value = something> If(!submit){<input type=submit value = something>} If(submit = something){<input type=submit value = somethingelse>} If(submit = somethingelse){<input type=submit value = somethingmore>} If(submit = somethingmore){<input type=submit value = GoSomePlace>} There are a lot of advatages to using this method of writing dynamic pages. It is compact and easy to read later.
