Re: Form Name Attribute Help!

It doesn't appear that the name attribute is passed (ref: http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/tagpages/f/form.htm). Instead, try including the following in each of your forms: <input type='hidden' name='formname' value='formName1'> Then you can check $formname in file.php for the value. Hope this helps!

I have posted this question before so I'm giving another try in case new people are looking at the news list!! If I have a form in named formName1 such as: <form name="formName1" action="file.php" method="post"> How can I get the name "formName1" from within file.php My original question was: Hi guys, If I have a code in file1.php such as: <form name=formName1 action=file2.php method=post> code.......... code.......... </form> And <form name=formName2 action=file2.php method=post> code.......... code.......... </form> Now in file2.php, I need to check which form I am receiving!! How do I check!! In other words, let's assume we only have the form names "formName1" and "formName1" - What code I can use in file2.php to get the name of the calling form. I just want to know how can I get the name of the form (in the above case, formName1 or formName2) Thanx
