[RESOLVED] php Many forms

[louvelle]

Hi guys. I have a question.
If I have many form codes with same name like these:

    <form action="reservedata.php" method="post">
        <input type="text" name="Name" />
        <input type="submit" value="reserve" name="button1" />
    </form>

    <form action="reservedata.php" method="post">
        <input type="text" name="Name" />
        <input type="submit" value="reserve" name="button2" />
    </form>

    <form action="reservedata.php" method="post">
        <input type="text" name="Name" />
        <input type="submit" value="reserve" name="button3" />
    </form>

And if I click on the submit button, would the result $_POST['Name'] will change depending on the button that I click?
For example, the three textboxes have different values like "George", "Paul" and "Andrew".
If I click on the button1, would the result be "George" or if I click on the button 2 would the result be "Andrew"?

I have a previous thread and if the answer in my question is yes then my problem with the other thread and this will be marked as solve.
Sorry if I keep on opening many threads at the same time.

If the user presses the first button, then the value in that textbox with the button will be available at the server side.

For example, if the user enter the value "a", "b", "c" in each of the textboxes and presses the first form's button, then the values available in the $_POST array would be:

Array ( [Name] => a [button1] => reserve ) 

If it was the second button that the user pressed, then the values would be:

Array ( [Name] => b [button2] => reserve ) 

And for the third:

Array ( [Name] => c [button3] => reserve ) 

That is, when you access the "Name" element of the $_POST array like this:

  echo $_POST['Name']; 

you will get the value from the textbox belonging to the form, which the user had pressed the button.

Hope it's clear. Let me know if you are still having trouble understanding it.

I actually tried it myself and my idea really worked out. Thanks for the reply @akhileshbc
No more problems so far. I'll marked two of my threads solve and link the solution from the other thread here.
