The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

form within a form? or another way

Asked by syedasimmeesaq in PHP Scripting Language, PHP and Databases

I have the following code below that when clicked submit button submits the form and goes to different section. Now I want to have another submit button that when its clicked the form stays on the same page.
The action property of that button should be
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="test.php?a=edit&recid=<?php echo $_SESSION["recid"]; ?>" method="post">
The problem is how to make button behave within the same form so it does a totally different thing from the first button.
Please see my complete code below. Thanks
