can you combine 2 actions?

Mar 16, 2008 3:58 PM

I am wondering is there a way to activate 2 actions at once when the submit button is pressed?
I have a form that I have set up to send info to a database which is activated by this "<%=MM_editActions%>"
but I also have another script in another asp page named "RegFormMailer.asp" that sends the form owner an email.
But I only know how to do one or the other.
Can I put TWO actions in the action field in dreamweavers property panel?
Something like "<%=MM_editActions%>" + "RegFormMailer.asp"?

Thank you, I am VERY new to dynamic site/and scripting. Just used to static sites.

    One form, one action. Of course you can do whatever you want in the
    processing script.

    No. You have to combine them both on the server.

    Michael, (or anyone) when you say I have to combine them on the server, can you elaborate a bit? I am very new to server application web design.

    Do you mean, put both tasks all in one script? I actually did try combining them, and it ALMOST works.
    It successfully sends the form info to the data base AND it sends an email to the form owner, the only problem is the inputed info is missing in the email...
    Like this......

    First Name:
    Last Name:
    Address:
    City:
    State:
    User Name:
    Password:

    Would someone perhaps be willing to look at my code and see if they can make both tasks work completely?
    Thank you!
    Ken

    Yes, that's what I meant. Your script can do a hundred tasks if
    necessary. I just can't help you with ASP code (I'm on PHP).
