problems posting twice to same page using PHP_SELF... is this possible?

im having a problem with php yet again... i've created a page with multiple forms on it and when i test it i've learnt that the first form is processed (with the ongoing, complete and reject) values but then i cant seem to process the 2nd form the same way. what could be the matter?

any help would be appreciated... happy new year to all the users of the site!

   <? 

    if (array_key_exists('complete',$_POST)) {
                echo "Sucess!";
                exit;
                };

    ?>

Its hard to know exactly whats going wrong without more detail.

do you actually see the 2nd form or the word "sucess"?

It's hard to tell what the problem is without more information. Can you post the outputted HTML? Are you sure it's not a problem with the other variables you are passing to the method attribute?

In fact, could it be that when you are doing intval($client_id) you are in fact trying to change a string or other non-integer into an integer?

Also, just as a note, if you are adhering to strict XHTML, you should set your form's method attribute to 'post' instead of 'POST'.

<?php

    if (array_key_exists('complete',$_POST)) {
                echo "Sucess!";
                exit;
                };

    ?>

a simple error... just needed to edit the opening php tag!
