Dead end: super-complicated formsDead end: super-complicated forms
Submitted by Benjamin Melançon on July 20, 2007 - 7:02am
For the community managed taxonomy node form user interface, I need either multiple forms one after another (probably best) or a crazy way to parse one form with multiple buttons that, by virtue of what button is pressed alone, do different things.
That plan would involve calling each form element's parent by what sort of submit I want, e.g. $form['endorse_placement']
and doing crazy stuff on the result to turn the array of variables in this into a bunch of strings with the variable names
Use the compact function
http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.compact.php
no, no, no. Multiple forms on a page.
Can't believe I spent a couple hours looking into what happens with different names and whatnot on submit buttons in a single form.

Even reported back what it does somewhere...
