Any ideas on how I can circumvent this?
Alt 2.
Give different names to the variables like
name_form1
name_form2
so that you can check if the user filled out first form or second or both.
P.S. the same with different forms

Another option is create a hidden field for each form that identifies the form that's submitted:
<input type="hidden" name="form" value="form1">
On naming, make sure your two forms have different names:
<form name="form1">
.....
</form><form name="form2">
...
</form>
And that each form has its own submit button.
Another... rather interesting way to do it might be use an array to store the information, and then use a hidden field to access it dynamically.
This should work:
HTML
<form name="form1" action="whatever.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="form1[name]">
<input type="text" name="form1[email]">
<input type="hidden" name="form" value="form1">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form><form name="form2" action="whatever.php" meothd="post">
<input type="text" name="form2[name]">
<input type="text" name="form2[email]">
<input type="hidden" name="form" value="form2">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
PHP
<?php
// Access the form data dynamically by using the hidden field's value$name = {$_POST['form']}['name'];
$email = {$_POST['form']}['email'];
?>
Note that I am at work, so cannot test it, but you see the idea.
In your example above, you call the same output 3 times for the CEmail section. For add, change or delete. However, you don't need to do that going by the code that's there. You could just check to see if it's empty or not and eliminate two if statements. Then you'd just modify your form action url a bit to accomodate the appropriate setting.
For example change:
if ($CEmail == 'Add') {
echo "<input type='hidden' name='CEmail' value='$CEmail'>";
include 'email.php';
unset($CEmail);
}
else if ($CEmail == 'Change') {
echo "<input type='hidden' name='CEmail' value='$CEmail'>";
include 'email.php';
unset($CEmail);
}
else if ($CEmail == 'Delete') {
echo "<input type='hidden' name='CEmail' value='$CEmail'>";
include 'email.php';
unset($CEmail);
}
else if (empty($CEmail)) {
// Do nothing
}
To:
if (!empty($CEmail)) {
echo "<input type='hidden' name='CEmail' value='$CEmail'>";
include 'email.php';
unset($CEmail);
}
else {
// Do nothing
}
I'm trying to help you as much as I can with the available code, but without the full script and knowing what's going on, it's hard to see exactly where your problems are. But judging from what you stated in your original post, I am guessing that the problem is that you're sharing the same form field names and it's buggering the script.
If you desire, you can sticky me code that I can copy and paste into some test pages that way I can see what's going on.
