How to stop forms submitting to SSI.php

[Alanar]

I'm trying to use a form for something separate from SMF, but because I'm using SSI as my website login system, I'm unable to get it to submit to anything else. I'm fairly new to PHP coding and newer to coding for SMF so I've been fiddling with this for a couple of hours. It just submits to the forum index page using "?action=login2" so I'm assuming it's catching anything being submitted and sending it to the login function?

Code Select Expand

<form action="external_script.php" method="post">
    <fieldset>
        <legend>Login</legend>
        <p>Please enter your code:</p><input type="text" name="access_code" maxlength="8" />
        <br /><br />
        <input type="image"
                   class="submit_button"
                   src="#" />
    </fieldset>
</form>

well, yes and no....


the login does not "capture anything..."   
ssi_login is a self contained function, though...  and you can not pass extra data into it.

So -- you can have as many forms as you want on the same page as the login -- and, if the html is properly constructed, they will all work.

From what I see of your code though... you appear to have a form that tries to pass something else into a php file, which would then be used (presumably) by the login form?  If so, that won't work without modification to the ssi_login function....

Actually, never mind. I had forgotten to exclude the guest form for users that were logged in. No wonder it was functioning strangely. Thank you for trying to help though.
