You can not submit multiple form at the same time. for that you need to use hidden elements. So before submitting form, you need to fill these hidden elements with required data from other forms.

[godfather21]

is any way to use multiple form submit in a single form using the same code,or what should i change?

thans for your help

[urtrivedi]

for that you have to bring all element in one form. here you action page is purchase1.php, you should merge all forms into one which are calling purchase1.php.

You can use separate form if you want to call script other than purchase1.php.

[godfather21]

could you please show me an example code or make a small change at mine, beacause i can't understand exactly what you mean

You are trying to manage multiple record at the same time. Do not use such logic.
instead pass categoryid at a time. and manage one record at a time. I could not explain here what ever you expect because you are going in the totally wrong direction.
