I have seen multiple ways to dealing with form submit, most of the times it is always to POST/GET the form to another PHP file? Uhhhhh… and file to maintain.
There is a more efficient way to deal with this… yes the grass is indeed greener on the other side of the fence.
One PHP page to do it all…”myExample.php”.
Below is a “myExample.php” file. I have added comments to help you our. I hope it is clear.
<?php if (!empty($_POST['contactSubmit'])) { // do ordering here } if (!empty($_POST['contactSubmit'])) { //do contacting us process here } ?> <form name="orderFromUs" method="post" action="join.php"> <input type="text" name="desc" /> <input type="text" name="qty" /> <input type="submit" name="OrderSubmit" value="Send Email" /> </form> <form name="contactUs" method="post" action="sendmail.php"> <input type="text" name="email" /> <input type="text" name="subjet" /> <input type="submit" name="contactSubmit" value="Send Email" /> </form>
Note that you will have to use the submit button’s “name” to determine which form was submitted.
