Hello,

 

I am wanting to submit the values of multiple form inputs to $_SESSION variables by clicking a single button. I will include snippets of my code to help explain my situation.

 

 

// First Form - Warrants the user to input a new email address, and then again to confirm it (Displays current email as placeholder text)

 

<div class="sub2title"><h3>Enter a New Email Address</h3></div>

<form method="post" class="myForms">

<div class="email"><label for="email">New email address <span style="color: #6C1739">* </span><input id="email" type="email" size="35" name="customeremail" placeholder="

<?php

$row = mysql_fetch_array($result2, MYSQL_ASSOC);

echo $row['Email'];

?>

"/></label></div>

<p><div class="email2"><label for="email2">Confirm email address <span style="color: #6C1739">* </span><input id="email2" size="35" type="email" name="customeremail2" placeholder="

<?php echo $row['Email'];

?>

"/></label></div></p>

</form>

// Second Form - Similar to above. Warrants user to input a new username (Displays current username as placeholder text)

<form method="post" class="myForms">

<div class="username"><label for="username">Username <span style="color: #6C1739">* </span><input id="username" type="text" size="27" name="customerusername" placeholder="

<?php

echo $row['Username'];

?>

"/></label></div>

</form>

 

 

// I have a couple other forms but I am sure you get the idea by now

 

// The button I want to submit all forms is part of my reCaptcha form

 

<form class="recaptcha" method="post" action="verify.php">

<?php

require_once('recaptchalib.php');

$publickey = "6LeAde8SAAAAAFmIST1_Q9hFBDIzPt9jkWIAfC65";

echo recaptcha_get_html($publickey);

?>

<p><button type="submit" id="clickMe" value="Submit ALL" class="buttonextra4 big grey">Update</button>

</p>

</form>

I looked into using JS to do this, using this code:

<script>

$('.myForms').submit(function () {

console.log("");

return true;

})

$("#clickMe").click(function () {

$(".myForms").trigger('submit'); // should show 3 alerts (one for each form submission)

});

</script>

I had no luck with this method though. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Either advice on how to get the current JS method to work or a better method.

// My Goal?

I want the values for all the form inputs to be submitted to $_SESSION variables so that during verify.php I can use these variables to run a mySQL Update query.

Use one single form?

I would be careful relying on js for anything serious when it comes to validation or updating. It's great for initial checks but a chocolate fireguard for updating data.

Is there any way around this then? I know it would be a lot easier to use a single form but would that work including the ReCaptcha? I'd rather know if I was working towards an achievable goal at least.

Yes it would work, it's the only way it will work!

Thank you. At least now I know what to be working towards.

Commenting as I need to get my post count up to 25 so I can send a PM, and I am 2 post counts short.

Ditto to above, but 1 left.
