this is the real code I am doing the first post contains the same problem,
as you can see the form 1 buttons is to control the iteration of the $_SESSION['clicks'] value i am using sessions in this form,
the form 2 buttons are to echo out the array for corresponding names that are retrieved from another array.
and the problem is every time the buttons in form2 is clicked or called out in php the other form or form1 gets submitted too
<?php
session_start();
$results_per_page = 10;
if (!isset($_GET['page'])) {
$page = 1;
}else{
$page = $_GET['page'];
}
$stmt1 = $conn->prepare("SELECT*FROM doctors");
$stmt1->execute();
$stmt2 = $conn->prepare("SELECT*FROM doctors ORDER BY doctor_name ASC");
$stmt2->execute();
while($row = $stmt2->fetch()) {
$result[] = [
'name' => $row['doctor_name'],
'degree' => $row['doctor_degree'],
'foe' => $row['doctor_foe'],
];
}
?>

CodePudding user response：
Hi think I understand what you're trying to say.
just wrap the logic from your form with the following:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['btn1'])) {
//Code for form 1
}
if(isset($_POST['btn2'])) {
//Code for form 2
}
CodePudding user response：
sorry for bothering you guys, i found my mistake. it is the if else of the session['click'] that is triggering the events which is causing for the said form1 to be submitted. and thanks for the suggestion of making my codes more shorter!
