Problem: How to make an HTML Form call different php pages from the action

  • 0

Problem: How to make an HTML Form call different php pages from the action based on what button is pushed?

The code below is the solution I have now, but I figure there must be a better way to do this then creating multiple forms on the page?

<html>  
<body>
    <form name="entry_form" action="entry_update_script.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
        <input type="hidden" name="entry_id" value="">
        <input type="hidden" name="entry_item_id" value="">
        Truck/Railcar/Barge#:<input type="text" name="pro_number" value=""><br>
        BOL #:<input type="text" name="bol" value=""><br>
        <input type="submit" name="entry_submit" value="Add New Entry!">
    </form>
    <form name="entry_form_add" action="entry_view.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
        <input type="hidden" name="entry_id" value="">
        <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add New Item!">
    </form>
</body>
</html>
