Two html form actions - php

Question

Is it possible to create two form actions? One should action a .php page and one should action a script on the same page.
<form method="post" action="">
// Input fields here
<input type="submit" name="calculate" value="Calculate price">
// Form should perform the calculation script below (not attached here)
<input type="submit" name="order" value="Order">
// Form should perform the action 'order.php'
</form>
Searched for a long time, but could not find a solution. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Answer 1

If you want a button in a form to do something other than submit the form set its type to button
<input type="button" name="calculate" value="Calculate price">
then attach a click handler to the button to run your script.

Answer 2

Assuming you have an event that will lead to this change, yes but with javascript.
Example:
$('select#actions').on('change', function(){
var action = $('#actions').find(":selected").val();
$('#someForm').attr("action", action + '.php');//or whatever is the route
}

Answer 3

you can try something like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
function SubmitForm()
{
if(document.pressed == 'Calculate price')
{
document.myform.action ="calculate.php";
}
else
if(document.pressed == 'Order')
{
document.myform.action ="order.php";
}
return true;
}
</script>
<form method="post" onsubmit="return SubmitForm();">
// Input fields here
<input type="submit" name="operation" onclick="document.pressed=this.value" value="Calculate price">
// Form should perform the calculation script below (not attached here)
<input type="submit" name="operation" onclick="document.pressed=this.value" value="Order">
// Form should perform the action 'order.php'
</form>
So when you submits, trigger a function that capture your button value and set form action.
In this case, you can put your calculation script in a php file.
