Previewing more than one submited form containing images on the same page
Posted by lisag | 4 Comments
Hi All,
I am new with PHP and Forms, so please bear with me.
I have a page with 2 forms(will be more like 20 later on) that user can sift through to choose the items in certain colors.Once selected, the submitted form will go to the correct destination page. I can't get both of the form submits to show up at the same time on this page! This concept is similar to choosing products from a catalog and adding to the shopping cart, less math and payment. I can get one or the other, just not both at the same time. Please let there be a simple solution...
Here is the code I have for the forms(both forms on on page):
form 1
I figure it's an IF, ELSE statement I'm missing. I have no PHP above the HTML for this. Don't know how to go about it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! I do want to keep the forms on one page.Looking forward to any input!!!!

<form action="closet_redes.php" method="post" Name = "tank" class="align">
<select name="tank">
<option value="none">Choose a Color</option>
<option value="black">black</option>
<option value="blue">blue</option>
<option value="red">red</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name = "Tank" value = "Select Tank">
</form>
form 2
<form action="closet_redes.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" Name = "heels" class="align">
<select name="heels">
<option value="none">Choose a Color</option>
<option value="white">white</option>
<option value="hotpink">hotpink</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name = "Heels" Value = "Select Heels">
</form>
Destination Body php:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
$tank = $_POST['tank'];
if ($tank == "black") {
print ("<IMG SRC =tank_transpar_bg/Tank_blk_t.gif>");
}
if ($tank == "blue"){
print ("<IMG SRC =tank_transpar_bg/Tank_blue_t.gif>");
}
if ($tank== "red"){
print ("<IMG SRC =tank_transpar_bg/Tank_red_t.gif>");
}
}
?>
if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
$heels = $_POST['heels'];
if ($heels == "white") {
print ("<IMG SRC =heels/heel_wht.gif>");
}
if ($heels == "hotpink"){

It seems that you may use one form only instead of 2 forms
This way when form is submitted you will have both selections in the $_POST. However, if you want to do this as a multi step selection what you need to do is to pass the value from the first form onto the second form in a hidden field. This way when you submit the second form you will have the value from the first form in the $_POST again (the hidden field in the second form).

<option value="none">Choose a Color</option>
<option value="black">black</option>
<option value="blue">blue</option>
<option value="red">red</option>
</select>
<select name="heels">
<option value="none">Choose a Color</option>
<option value="white">white</option>
<option value="hotpink">hotpink</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name = "Heels" Value = "Select">
</form>

It worked!!! Thanks sooooooo much!
I am now able to wrap my head around forms, kinda:>)
I have another brain yeast for u if interested:
how do I get specific chosen form variables (echoes) to echo in a new location. Basically choosing From pre selected array and echoing that info in a different spot... I have no code right now, just trying to work out the logic and steps.
I will also want to copy that info into a new file to save to a users profile and have it easily accessible to share( as a gif)... Make sense???
