2 Forms in 1 page
Hello everyone,

newbie question:

is it possible to use the value of a dropbox form (from 'SELECT') in 2 different submit forms? I have a page that consists of 'SEARCH' form and 'ADD' form and a dropdown SELECT a database menu form.

I would like to use the value of selected database from a dropdow menu to process both forms. If SEARCH form is press it will check entry for a 'KEYWORD' and the SELECTED database, but if 'ADD' is pressed it will only check the SELECTED database and redirect the page to another page.

Error:

the SELECTED database is not being pass when I click on the 'ADD' button.

=====below is how i tried to implement it, please check ====


php Code:
Original - php Code 
  1.  
  2.  
  3. <?php
  4.  
  5. select_database();
  6.  
  7. function select_database(){
  8.  
  9.  
  10.     echo "<form method="post" action="nocswmain2.php">";
  11.     echo "<table align ="center" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">";
  12.  
  13.     echo "<td>NOCSW Database </td>";
  14.     echo "<td>";
  15.     echo "<select name="database">";
  16.     echo "<option value="0">Select Database</option>";
  17.     echo "<option>Point Code</option>";
  18.         echo "<option>Trunk Group</option>";
  19.         echo "<option>Signalling Link</option>";
  20.     echo "<option>Signalling Routeset</option>";
  21.     echo "<option>Procedure NOCSW</option>";
  22.     echo "</select>";
  23.     echo "</td>";
  24.  
  25.     echo "<td>";
  26.     echo "<input name="search_keyword">";
  27.     echo "</td>";
  28.  
  29.     echo "<td>";
  30.         echo "<input type="submit" value="Search">";
  31.         echo "<input type="reset"  value="Reset">";
  32.     echo "</td>";
  33.     echo "</form>";
  34.  
  35.  
  36.  
  37.  
  38.  
  39.

RE: 2 Forms in 1 page
Only the information form that is submitted is sent to the next page. What you would need to do is use javascript to assign the selected db to a hidden field in the second form. a couple things you need to remember, is that

1. you must give each of the forms a different name.
2. Check to make sure that the selected db hidden field in the second form contains a value before running your query

us an onChange event in the dropdown to trigger the population of the hidden field in the second form

Really the only way to accomplish this is with JavaScript! you would need to use an onChange event in the select box that set the value of a hidden field in the second form.

try doing a little research and if you need some assistance at that point let me know.

search for Javascript onChange events using SELECT Boxes
