same form data, different actions on two separate submit buttons

Question

I have what is essentially a shopping cart that needs to have two separate checkout options. The first of which takes the user away from the site, but form data must be post

Answer 1

If I understand correctly, you have 2 submit buttons on the same page and both of them have the same form if that is so, this should do the trick.

if(isset($_POST['name1'])) {
//do stuff
}

if(isset($_POST['name2'])) {
//do other stuff
}
