For testing purpose I designed simple HTML form as follows
<html>
<head>
<title>Test Form</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
<table border="0" align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>First Name</td>
<td><input type="text" name="txtfname" value="" size="10" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Last Name</td>
<td><input type="text" name="txtlname" value="" size="10" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Now on this single HTML page I want to perform basic SQL functionality with MySQL using PHP. I want 4 submit buttons (Insert Delete Update Search) on single HTML form. I tried it by taking DIV tag but still its not working. Any suggestions???
<form method="post">
<table border="0" align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>First Name</td>
<td><input type="text" name="txtfname" value="" size="10" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Last Name</td>
<td><input type="text" name="txtlname" value="" size="10" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<input type="submit" name="insert" value="insert" />
<input type="submit" name="update" value="update" />
<input type="submit" name="delete" value="delete" />
<input type="submit" name="search" value="search" />
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</form>
Now you can check which button was used to submit using regular php stuff isset() like below.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['insert'])) {
//perform insert
}
if(isset($_POST['search'])) {
// perform search
}
?>
You can create four forms on your HTML page as following
<form action="insert.php" method="post">
<!-- Some form data here -->
<input type="submit">
</form>
<form action="delete.php" method="post">
<!-- Some form data here -->
<input type="submit">
</form>
<form action="update.php" method="post">
<!-- Some form data here -->
<input type="submit">
</form>
<form action="search.php" method="post">
<!-- Some form data here -->
<input type="submit">
</form>
from your question I understand above scenario
Hope it helps
u mean to ask u want to perform 4 action's.
just use an ajax call on onClick action of each button.
do not create a form, just make a function call.
you can do tat using this code...
<input type="button" onclick="var e = document.getElementById('form_id'); e.action='adress1'; e.submit();" value="submit1">
<input type="button" onclick="var e = document.getElementById('form_id'); e.action='adress2'; e.submit();" value="submit2">
<input type="button" onclick="var e = document.getElementById('form_id'); e.action='adress3'; e.submit();" value="submit3">
