php form with two buttons
Hi,
I am trying to make a form that has two submit buttons that will send the form input one of two different location depending on which submit button the user hits. My code (that doesn't work) is below.

What is not working? What I usually do is I set my form action to one page and do the split (one script or another) on that page.
I think there is a flaw in your logic (code logic)
1- the first time you open the page there is nothing in the form action, so the page will submit to herself.
2- when you click on one of the buttons to submit the form your code check which one has been clicked and set the form action appropriately but at this point it is to late the form has already been submited.

Aslo, there is one litle mistake in that code.
You actually dont print $submit_value variable, and because of that the action parameter is always empty.
Use something like this and try to initialize varaibles before using/printing.
