I have two forms on a same page and I have two submit buttons...so how do I check if the user filled out the first form before clicking the submit button on second form? The first form posts the data to php page which presents on a same page as the html and the second form sends the data to another PHP page with thank you message....I mean how do force the user to finish the first form before clicking the submit button on the second form? if the user hits the submit button on the second form, the form directs to thank you page with out checking if the user finished the first form..how do I stop that?
<html>
<body>
<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="submited" value="true" />
<label for="file">Choose Photo:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" onchange="file_selected = true;" required>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit">
</form>
<form action="Send.php" method="post">
First Name:<input type="text" name="fname" required><br>
Last Name:<input type="text" name="lname" required><br>
Choose Username:<input type="text" name="username" required><br>
Age:<input type="text" name="age" required><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit">
</form>
You can change the name field and then access the value on the server side.
For example:
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submitOne" />
If you're using php you could use something like this:
if(isset($_POST['submitOne'])){ /* first one pressed */ }
There are also some other options like using jQuery or javascript to validate first.

I have made this:
<form action="links.php" method="get">
<input type="text" name="link" value="" style="height:25px;length:0px;font-size:8pt;"><br>
Direct: <input type="submit"><br>
Show: <input type="submit">
</form>
Is there any way I can pass a parameter when I press a different button? When I click now it sends me to links.php?link= which is good, but I want to do so that if I click one of the buttons, it sends me to links.php?link=&up=no.
I think I found a solution but it uses javascript, I want to do it with HTML only.
If you're looking to add a parameter based on what submit button was pressed, you can add a name to each of them:
<form action="links.php" method="get">
<input type="text" name="link" value="" style="height:25px;length:0px;font-size:8pt;"><br>
Direct: <input type="submit" name="direct"><br>
Show: <input type="submit" name="show">
</form>
Pressing the direct submit button will give:
?link=&direct=...
Pressing the show button will give:
?link=&show=...
edit
In the event that you want to pass a specific value for each button (which isn't tied to it's text like a submit input is), use the button tag instead of the input tag and pass it explicitly:
<form action="links.php" method="get">
<input type="text" name="link" value="" style="height:25px;length:0px;font-size:8pt;"><br>
Direct: <button name="direct" value="foo">Submit</button><br>
Show: <button name="name" value="bar">Submit</button>
</form>
which would result in: ?link=&direct=foo and ?link=&show=bar
I have a form like this. I want to know that will the form submission work if the is placed in the middle of the text fields?
For example:
<input type="text" name="fname"> // First Name
<input type="text" name="lname"> // Last Name
<form method="post" action=""> // Post
<input type="text" name="username"> // Username
<input type="text" name="password"> // Password
<input type="submit" value="Submit"> // Submit Button
Will the submission work for First Name and Last Name field as the is after them so they do not come inside the form.
Your form elements (like your input boxes) have to be between an opening <form> and a closing </form> tag. So your fname and lname will be ignored. (Your closing </form> is missing, too.)
Why do you have to add your form elements between form tags? This allows you to add multiple forms to one page. To identify which element contains to which form, they have to be between the form tags.
Example "Login & register on the same site":
<form method="POST" action="login.php">
User: <input type="text" name="username">
Password: <input type="password" name="password">
<input type="submit" value="Login">
</form>
<form method="POST" action="register.php">
Mail: <input type="text" name="email">
User: <input type="username" name="username">
Password: <input type="password" name="password">
Repeat password: <input type="password" name="pwdagain">
<input type="submit" value="Register">
</form>
Refer this site for further information: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp
First name and last name will not post. Username and password will post but u have to close form tag first.
If you transform you code like this it will post all :
<input type="text" name="fname" form="my_form_id"> // First Name
<input type="text" name="lname" form="my_form_id"> // Last Name
<form id="my_form_id" method="post" action="#"> // Post
<input type="text" name="username"> // Username
<input type="text" name="password"> // Password
<input type="submit" value="Submit"> // Submit Button
</form>
#shubham-jha If you want multiple submit buttons under a single form, you may use AJAX.
Create a JavaScript function on click, decide to which URL you want to send this data and then change form action using jQuery, then submit using JavaScript.
Jquery to change form action
There is some news on this front, it seems.
MDN has this for you to review
form HTML5
"The form element that the input element is associated with (its form owner). The value of the attribute must be an id of an element in the same document. If this attribute is not specified, this element must be a descendant of an element. This attribute enables you to place elements anywhere within a document, not just as descendants of their form elements."
Perhaps you can still achieve what you wished for. Only question then, is what browser support you must have.
Test
<br><br>
<form action="index.php?page=test">
<input type="text" placeholder="enter text"> </input>
<button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
Why is the link working correctly while the form gets me the url http://example.com/index.php? in the adress bar of the browser?
Every parameter i define in the action attribute is getting cut off
you have to use this code.
Test
<br><br>
<form action="index.php" method="get">
<input type="text" placeholder="enter text"> </input>
<input type="hidden" name="page" value="test">
<button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
You are submitting a GET form. The data in the form will be expressed as a query string and replace the one in the URL in the action.
Move the data from the query string into hidden inputs inside the form.
I've got this code in html:
<form action="/login/" method="post">
<input type="text" name="login">
<input type="text" name="pass">
<input type="submit" value="login" name="type" >
<input type="submit" value="register" name="type" >
</form>
When I submit this form it sends a get request with the value of the field of the button clicked. However I want to change the label of the button without changing the value sent in get. Is it possible or not?
Use a button element:
<button type="submit" name="type" value="register">Sign up for an account</button>
Note that old IE has problems with this.
I have a page (module-access.php).
On the page I have a form with one text input field. I'd like to set whatever is typed in this field to be part of the form's action.
<form action="module-access.php?company=THE-USERS-INPUT" method="post" name="company" id="company">
Company Name: <input type="text" name="textfield" id="textfield">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" name="submit" VALUE="Go"></FORM>
Thanks
Just change the input name from textfield to company and the action type to GET
<form id="myform" action="module-access.php" method="GET">
Company Name: <input type="text" name="company" id="company">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Go">
</form>
Why? Does it matter whether it's passed in the POST or GET? You can always just use REQUEST.
If it does matter then you'll need to use JavaScript to modify the action before you POST the form. Not very hard to do.
