Mostly, although it's common to: A) Name several "submit" buttons the same, say $action, and the use the value of $action (the text from the button) to decide what to do in your script B) Name multiple checkboxes as NAME=foo[] and then you have an array $foo in your processing script C) Name all radio buttons in a single group the same, since that's pretty much the only way to get them to be radio buttons. > 2/ Using 'selected' on pulldowns automatically returns that > value > unless selected? Yes. > 3/ The WHOLE PAGE is included in one form? > -OR- > Multiple forms are used on one page, and submit button returns > All forms? A single SUBMIT button can only return one (1) form. A single form might have multiple SUBMIT buttons. A single page might have multiple FORMs. Depends on how you want to design your pages and what makes it easiest for you to navigate and write organized PHP code. -- Visit the Zend Store at http://www.zend.com/store/ Wanna help me out?
