PHP SELF : 2 FORMS ONE PAGE.

January 6, 200917 yr

Here is the code, this is my first time using PHP, I assume it has something to do with two PHP-SELF posts on one page, I've used this so I can post the errors on the same page heres the code of the whole page:

Any ideas?

Here is the code, this is my first time using PHP, I assume it has something to do with two PHP-SELF posts on one page, I've used this so I can post the errors on the same page heres the code of the whole page: ... Any ideas?

You haven't actually said what's wrong here, what it is that isn't working! You surely can't expect someone to read or parse all that XHTML and PHP in their head, or run the example, and tell you what's wrong and how to fix it? So please tell us what needs fixing!

Secondly, putting all that PHP and HTML together is a really bad idea... it's cluttered, not readable, and therefore hard to maintain. You might not even be able to determine (easily at least) where the error is with all that stuff in one long file. You'd be far better splitting out the HTML into a single HTML-only page, and putting the PHP separately as one or more processing scripts. Then have your forms submit to those processing scripts, redirecting back to the HTML if necessary. A better way altogether is to use a templating scheme (such as Smarty) so you can keep the HTML in templates, and display the HTML from your PHP along with populated data using simple one-line method calls. I'd suggest jiggling the script around to break out the HTML from the PHP before trying to debug the problem further.

The error is 'Cannot redeclare verifyform()'. This is because you've made two functions with the same name. Just rename one.

I know i need to tidy it up a bit, I have them in the html because if the form has errors or a user hasn't filled in all the info i want them to post on the same page. is there a way to do this if using php from its own file? I put all the code in to demonstrate that there are two forms on one page, they both work fine on there own.

PEA i tried changing the function names but it still doesn't work, I need to get myself a php debugger.
