How can I add a action on a different button so I can go to the test.php file instead of going to checklogin.php .
it keeps going to the checklogin.php not to register.php.

Sorry I know this is a noob question.
BTW I want my register button and lgin button to be insde the table

<table width="300" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<tr>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="checklogin.php">
<td>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<tr>
<td colspan="3"><strong>Member Login </strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="78">Username</td>
<td width="6">:</td>
<td width="294"><input name="myusername" type="text" id="myusername"></td>
</tr>
<tr>

<td>Password</td>
<td>:</td>
<td><input name="mypassword" type="text" id="mypassword"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Login"><INPUT type="submit" value="register" action="test.php"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</form>

</tr>
</table>

<input type="submit" value="register" action="test.php">

action is an attribute of the form, not of an input: you can't just make stuff up!!

It is up to the PHP script to produce different content, or re-direct to another page. Give both submit buttons the same name and check the value of this in the PHP script to decide what to do next.

BTW The bgcolor and align attributes for a table were deprecated in HTML 4.01!? and no longer exist in HTML5. (I don't know where people dig these things up from . )

Yea I made that up lol I though It would redirect me to the register.php.

But im Still struggling on how should I do it?? Can I put a form inside the form. formception

and add an action at the form inside the form to redirect me to the register button??

Can you give me a good example please and thank you.

The width attribute for a table is no longer supported in HTML5 either - use CSS.

You want the information of the form to be applicable to two different pages?

You could make two separate submit buttons, both with unique names, and make a page that handles the form's data as such:

if(isset($_POST['checkLoginSubmit'])) {
    //Do Something
}else{
    if(isset($_POST['registerSubmit'])) {
        //Do Something else
    }
}

We cannot nest forms.

$submitted = false;
if (isset($_POST['Submit']) && !empty($_POST['Submit'])) {
    $submitted = $_POST['Submit'];
}
if ($submitted !== false) {
    if ($submitted == 'Login') {
        // do something
    } else if ($submitted == 'register') {
        // do something else
    } else {
        // something dodgy going on
    }
}

The post-data is based on names, not IDs. You can, as I suggested, give the two buttons the same name but different values, or two different names if you prefer.

andrewsw Ah, I accidentally said ID instead of name xD. Thanks for catching me on that lol

[poldz123]

Where Do I put the codes that you just added???
at the checklogin.php??? or inside the form??

No worries. Actually, I think my code is wrong: both buttons will be submitted, as an array. So, yes, I would probably give them different names.

As just mentioned, my code is slightly wrong anyway. Give the two submit buttons different names and use xxxjj18 's example.

If you don't know where to put the code then I suggest that you need to study more of the fundamentals of PHP.

Doh! But you'll need to write some client-side (Javascript) code to change the values of the submit buttons before the form is submitted, or remove one of them entirely from the form.

Sorry, must be tired

Well done.

Yes, I believe that only the submit button that is clicked will have its value posted to the PHP script, so that my original script would work.

Glad we could help
