Is this possible with PHP?

I have one form. It has a dropdown menu. One searches Google and the other is a site search that uses the "get" command for method. So, they have two different actoins. How can I have one form with two different actions? Thanks!

u mean like:

<form action="post, get">
??

no

why not just have 2 seperate forms??

or maybe try:

<select name="searchtype"><option value="1">Search Google</option><option value="2">Search Site</option></select>

PHP Code:

<?php



//input for search criteria

$search = $_POST['search'];



//google?

if ($_POST['searchtype'] == "1") {

header ("Location: http://www.google.com/search?q=$search");

}



//own site?

elseif ($_POST['searchtype'] == "2") {

include("searchresults.php");

}



else {

die("error - no search selected!");

}



?>

Well, it would be too much clutter to have multiple forms that just have one input text area.

To answer your question - you CANNOT have one form with multiple actions, i.e., a form that actually triggers two requests. However, you can use scripting to automatically change the action attribute of the form to point to other destinations based on the value of the select field (i.e., use its onchange event to change the form's action attribute).

I want something like that. What you are talking about.
