hey, heres my code:

<?php
if ($_POST['submit']) {
if ($_POST['submit']) {
echo"hello1";
exit;
}else{
echo"
<form name=\"form\" method=\"post\">
<input name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" id=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\">
</form>";
exit;
}
}else{
echo"hello4
<form name=\"form\" method=\"post\">
<input name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" id=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\">
</form>";
}
?>

What i want is that when you hit the first submit button (after entering the info into a form) it brings up the next form and another submit button.
Please help, I'm very stuck:o
thanks.
influct!

This would probably be easier to do with AJAX, or something. Look into some tutorials on that, mainly the responceText and AJAX handler functions (I just learned how to use some AJAX last night, and it's so awesome!).

By the way, no matter what, on that code you've posted, you'll always get the first if statement evalutated as true, the one echoing 'hello1'.
You would have to put hidden fields in your form to tell it which form it is, then have it act accordingly if you were to do this by PHP alone.
I would personally use AJAX since it just makes it look better and doesn't have to reload the page and such.

name them different submit buttons?

<input name=\"submit1\" type=\"submit\" id=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\">

<input name=\"submit2\" type=\"submit\" id=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\">

Couln't you just do this:

<?php
if (isset($_POST["submit"]))
{
echo "
Second Form here
<form action=\"\" method=\"POST\" />
Input fields here
<input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit2\" value=\"\" />
</form>";
}
elseif (isset($_POST["submit2"]))
{
echo "
Third Form Here
<form action=\"\" method=\"POST\" />
Input Fields
</form>";
}
else
{
echo "
First Form Here
<form action=\"\" method=\"POST\" />
Input fields
<input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"\" />
</form>";
}
?>

That should work if I understand what you mean.

You should consider using forms and arrays.
An example from a multiple-tutorials submit form I made last week:

Make a common field named 'count[]'

<input type="hidden" name="count[]" value="" />

Each time you put that field, we add one to our count. Put this in all of the submit forms.

This way we can count how many thigns were submitted by doing:

$count = count( $_POST['count'] );

$_POST['count'] holds an array of data for each time the form field count[] appears.

Now this is what your form should look like:

Tutorial #1:<br />
<input type="text" name="title[]" /><br />
<input type="test" name="author[]" /><br />
<input type="hidden" name="count[]" value="" />
<br />


Tutorial #2:<br />
<input type="text" name="title[]" /><br />
<input type="test" name="author[]" /><br />
<input type="hidden" name="count[]" value="" />
<br />

Now to get all form data, we loop through our array:

$count = count( $_POST['count'] );
for( $i=0; $i < $count; $i++ )
{
	// get data for tutorial $i + 1
	$current_tutorial = $i + 1;
	$current_title = $_POST['title'][ $i ];
	$current_author = $_POST['author'][ $i ];
}

This is essentially what it should look like.
