Question

Is it possible for me to have two self submitting forms on a single page. If yes how do I allot different blocks of code to each form ?

Answer 1

Have a hidden input with two different values.

<form action="" ...>
<input type="hidden" name="form_no" value="0">
...
</form>

<form action="" ...>
<input type="hidden" name="form_no" value="1">
...
</form>

On the server side, different on the basis of $_REQUEST['form_no']

Or you could also add it as a name parameter in submit element.

<input type="submit" name="form0">

Use isset($_REQUEST['form0']) to differentiate.

Another way of doing it is to append a GET parameter to differentiate

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>?form_no=0" ...>
...
</form>

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>?form_no=1" ...>
...
</form>

Use $_GET['form_no'] to differentiate.
