How do I make a global update button.

Anonymous · Jan 16, 2003

I have a page with the following update fields. As a beginner, I have learned to make the update scripts, and such, but is there a way to make an update button to run all of the updates on one page?

Here is what I have so far. In responding, please be descriptive, I am not terribly comfortable with what I am doing yet.

<html>
<table width="50%" border="0">
<tr>
<td>mark</td>
<td>Available:</td>
<td>On Site:</td>
</tr>
<tr>

<td><FORM NAME="fa" ACTION="mark_av_sun.php" METHOD="POST">
<TEXTAREA NAME="mark_av_sun" ROWS=1 COLS=10></TEXTAREA>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Update">
</FORM></td>
<td><FORM NAME="fa" ACTION="mark_os_sun.php" METHOD="POST">

How about this?

Code:

<html> 
<FORM NAME="fa" ACTION="proc.php" METHOD="POST">
<table width="50%" border="0">
  <tr>    <td>mark</td>    <td>Available:</td>    <td>On Site:</td>  </tr>  <tr>    <td>Sunday:</td>
    <td><TEXTAREA NAME="mark_av_sun" ROWS=1 COLS=10></TEXTAREA>   <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Update"></td>    <td><TEXTAREA NAME="mark_os_sun" ROWS=1 COLS=10></TEXTAREA>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Update"></td>  </tr>  <tr>
    <td>Monday:</td>    <td><TEXTAREA NAME="mark_av_mon" ROWS=1 COLS=10></TEXTAREA>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Update"></td>
    <td><TEXTAREA NAME="mark_os_mon" ROWS=1 COLS=10></TEXTAREA> <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Update"></td>  </tr>  <tr>    <td>Tuesday:</td>
