I have 2 questions:

1 - How do I display multiple submit buttons. The only way I've figured out to do it is with 3 different forms since the action of 2 of the buttons take you to other scripts, the third updates the current one. Is there a cleaner way to do it?

2 - How do I capture data that has been changed by the user if I want to stay in the current script? This is in ref to my update button and since PHP doesn't read what is on the client, how can I capture the data the user changed? Do I have to use Javascript or is there a way to fool PHP?

Thanks for your help.
 
Thanks for your help. I finally got it to work. It was some a DUH judi and some of it is the program flow isn't what I"m used to. Thanks so much for all your help.
 
Judi,

if you've got 370 asm skills, try and relate the web to CICS. The web server is the CICS environment and the browser to 3270 screen. HTML is the map, all you have to do is incercept the message, alter it, reformat it and send it back. PHP sessions a bit like temporary queues.(hope you know CICS !!)
