One form, two actions

Expand Post »

I'm working a very simple script for an email (messaging) between users. I have a form with two buttons that gives you the option to save message as a draft or just send it to the user.

Here are the two buttons on form:

html Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<input type="submit" name="save" id="save" value="Save as Draft" />
<input type="submit" name="send" id="send" value="Send" />
<input type="submit" name="save" id="save" value="Save as Draft" />
<input type="submit" name="send" id="send" value="Send" />

Here is how I'm trying to differentiate between form actions.

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
if(isset($_POST['save']) && trim($_POST["save"])!==''){
	mysql_query("UPDATE mailbox SET 
		member_id='$_SESSION[user_id]',
		message='$message',
		draft='DRAFT',
		subject='$subject',
		date='$dsub' 
		WHERE id='$draftid'");
	header('Location: mailbox.php');
 
}elseif(isset($_POST['send']) && trim($_POST["send"])!==''){
	$send="INSERT INTO mailbox SET
		member_id='$memid',
		user_name='$$_SESSION[user_name]',
		user_id='$_SESSION[user_id]',
		message='$message',
		inbox='NEW',
		subject='$subject',
		date='$dsub' " ;
	$save_result=mysql_query($save);
header('Location: mailbox.php');
 
		// update draft to sent
	mysql_query("UPDATE mailbox SET
		draft='',
		sent='SENT'
		WHERE id='draftid'");}
 
	header('Location: mailbox.php');
if(isset($_POST['save']) && trim($_POST["save"])!==''){
	mysql_query("UPDATE mailbox SET 
		member_id='$_SESSION[user_id]',
		message='$message',
		draft='DRAFT',
		subject='$subject',
		date='$dsub' 
		WHERE id='$draftid'");
	header('Location: mailbox.php');

}elseif(isset($_POST['send']) && trim($_POST["send"])!==''){
	$send="INSERT INTO mailbox SET
		member_id='$memid',
		user_name='$$_SESSION[user_name]',
		user_id='$_SESSION[user_id]',
		message='$message',
		inbox='NEW',
		subject='$subject',
		date='$dsub' " ;
	$save_result=mysql_query($save);
header('Location: mailbox.php');

		// update draft to sent
	mysql_query("UPDATE mailbox SET
		draft='',
		sent='SENT'
		WHERE id='draftid'");}
	
	header('Location: mailbox.php');

Save works just fine, but in the event I try to send it disregards the Save as I would expect it to, but it also disregards the rest of the script and just executes the header. Not quite sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

What is $save? I think you are trying to run the query $send?

Re: One form, two actions

I did catch the $send and changed it also removed an extra $ from SESSION[user] ... It is sending now, just not updating the 'draft' to a 'sent' mail at the bottom of the script. Still working on it.

Re: One form, two actions

I got it ... finally! LOL. I was missing a "$" for my variable 'draftid' ... You stare at this stuff long enough and it's easy to overlook the little things. I almost feel foolish. Thank you guys, Problem Solved!
