If only it was possible to have nested forms!

Hi,

If only it was possible to have nested forms!

I have a script with a form that takes details from a user posting an ad for house renting.

The script takes in details such as:

Property Type:
Property Address:
House description:

This is done easily with a form but here's the tricky bit. Within that form I want the the user to select from a drop down menu how many bedrooms available in their house, if they select for example 2 bedrooms then the script will dynamically create fields for Bedroom 1 and Bedroom 2 for the user to fill in.

I can do this on a seperate script, here's the code below:

<form method="POST" name="roomcount" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">
<p><select size="1" name="Dropdown1" onchange=roomcount.submit()>
<option value=" ">[Select]</option>
<option value="1">Option1</option>
<option value="2">Option2</option>
<option value="3">Option3</option>
</select>
<form>
</td>
</tr>

<?php
$count = intval($_POST['Dropdown1']);
while(++$i <= $count)
{
echo "<b><u>Bedroom $i</u></b> <br>";
echo "Bedroom Type: <select name=bedroom_type>";
echo "<option value=single>Single Room";
echo "<option value=double>Double Room";
echo "<select> <br>";

echo "Ensuite: <input type=radio name=ensuite value=Yes> Yes ";
echo "<input type=radio name=ensuite value=No> No <br>";
echo "Rent: <input type=text name=rent Size=25><br><br>";
}
?>

The problem is I can't put this form within the other form as it's not possible in HTML, can anyone see a solution to this?

Could you not simply place the php code within the html parameters? And you also forgot the closing option tags in the php echo.

  <form method="POST" name="roomcount" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">
  <p><select size="1" name="Dropdown1" onchange=roomcount.submit()>
  <option value=" ">[Select]</option>
  <option value="1">Option1</option>
  <option value="2">Option2</option>
  <option value="3">Option3</option>
  </select>
 
  <?php
   $count = intval($_POST['Dropdown1']);
   while(++$i <= $count)
   {
   echo "<b><u>Bedroom $i</u></b> <br>";
   echo "Bedroom Type: <select name=bedroom_type>";
   echo "<option value=single>Single Room</option>";
   echo "<option value=double>Double Room</option>";
   echo "</select> <br>";
   
   echo "Ensuite: <input type=radio name=ensuite value=Yes> Yes ";
   echo "<input type=radio name=ensuite value=No> No <br>";
   echo "Rent: <input type=text name=rent Size=25><br><br>";
   }
   ?>
  <form>
   	</td>
  	</tr>
