I have a form and I have a field on the form that submits the form when the user exits the field. The form values are POST and $PHP_SELF.

I want to be able to submit the form to another form if the "Submit" button is clicked. How can I do this?

what you are talking about is not very clear .. but change the action in the form tags to the file you want like this :

Code:

<form method="POST" action="new_file.php">

How do I change this? I want the form to submit to itself in some instances and then to another page in other instances. I know I have to change the action of the form but don't know how. Your help is appreciated.

well , it depends on what are the conditions you want ..
like when do you want it to be submited to itself and when do you want it to be sent to another ?
anyway IF statments are your friends in this case ..
example :

PHP Code:

if ( $condition_1 === true ) {

$dist=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; //this will post to the file itself ..

} elseif ( $condition_2 === true ) {

$dist='new_file.php'; //the other file you want to post to ..

}



echo'<form method="POST" action="'.$dist.'">'; 

that's how you change the direction of the file ..
but give us more details so we can help more ..

Thank you very much for your help. I new there should be some type of if or function or something but just could not get it figured out. This really helps.

I use a simple way to do understand i think

You create a hidden field inside your form. Name it viewform or whatever!!
<form action= <?php print $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?> method="post">
<?php
if (!isset($_POST[viewform])){
the form
RELY IMPORTANT
<input name=\"viewform\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"view\">
}
if($_POST[viewform] == "view"){
the send form procedure
}
?>
that should work
