Calling a function from form submit

[tom11011]

Hello, I am a newbie to php.  I am trying to figure out how to call a function when a user clicks submit on a form.  I have a sample script that I am writing where the user inputs there name, address, etc.. and then clicks submit and it inserts into the mysql database.  I have successfully done this with form action to my adduser.php file, but I would rather have a single function file with adduser, delete a user, edit a user, etc..

 

here is my form

 

<form action="includes/customersfunctions.php?add" method="post">

name: <input type="text" name="name" /><br />

address: <input type="text" name="address" /><br />

city: <input type="text" name="city" /><br />

state: <input type="text" name="state" /><br />

zip: <input type="text" name="zip" /><br />

<input type="submit" />

</form>

 

Here is my function

 

<?php

 

function add()

{

include("config.php");

mysql_query("INSERT INTO customers (name,address,city,state,zip) VALUES ('name','address','city','state','zip') ") or die(mysql_error());

echo "added";

mysql_close($con);

}

 

?>

 

The function will have delete, update, etc.. later

 

Thanks for your help in advance!

a rather long-winded example:

 

form:

<form action="includes/customersfunctions.php" method="post">
name: <input type="text" name="name" /><br />
address: <input type="text" name="address" /><br />
city: <input type="text" name="city" /><br />
state: <input type="text" name="state" /><br />
zip: <input type="text" name="zip" /><br />
<input type="submit" /><input type='hidden' name='add' value='1'>
</form>

 

customersfunctions.php:

<?php
if (isset($_POST['add']) && intval($_POST['add']) == 1) {
include("config.php");
$name = (isset($_POST['name']))?$_POST['name']:"";
$address = (isset($_POST['address']))?$_POST['address']:"";
$city = (isset($_POST['city']))?$_POST['city']:"";
$state = (isset($_POST['state']))?$_POST['state']:"";
$zip = (isset($_POST['zip']))?$_POST['zip']:"";

if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
	$name = stripslashes($name);
	$address = stripslashes($address);
	$city = stripslashes($city);
	$state = stripslashes($state);
	$zip = stripslashes($zip);
}

$name = mysql_real_escape_string($name);
$address = mysql_real_escape_string($address);
$city = mysql_real_escape_string($city);
$state = mysql_real_escape_string($state);
$zip = mysql_real_escape_string($zip);

$sql = "INSERT INTO customers (name,address,city,state,zip) VALUES ('$name','$address','$city','$state','$zip') ";
mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
echo "added";
mysql_close($con);
}
?>

I got a 500 error and the data did not insert.  The page redirected to /includes/customersfunctions.php which I did not expect.

the form action is action="includes/customersfunctions.php"

 

that is where the form data is submitted. if you would like it submitted to a different file, you'll need to update the form action.
