IF ( $_POST["submit"] == "Update Subscriptions" OR

I am wanting to ask a question about IF statements.

I have been developing a PHP > mySQL based subscription tracking
application.

I am trying to set up an administration screen now where admin could
update an address, e-mail address, subscription(s), etc. OR (and this is
the key) update the entire account.

I have this series of IF statements (below). I have a bunch of SUBMIT
buttons on the admin screen so if someone just wants to update the
address on the admin screen the "Update Address" button may be
clicked ... and it is right near the fields to input a change of
address. Same thing with "Update Subscriptions". But if the account
needs multiple changes I have an "UPDATE ENTIRE ACCOUNT" button at the
bottom.

Here are the series of IF statements used to process the form.

if ( $_POST['submit'] == "Update Subscriptions" OR $_POST['submit'] ==
"Update Entire Account" ) {

} elseif ( $_POST['submit'] == "Update Address" OR $_POST['submit'] ==
"Update Entire Account" ) {

} elseif ( $_POST['submit'] == "Update E-Mail Address" OR
$_POST['submit'] == "Update Entire Account" ) {

} elseif ( $_POST['submit'] == "Submit Birth Date" OR $_POST['submit']
== "Update Entire Account" ) {

}

I am stuck again. If on the admin screen someone clicks "UPDATE
ADDRESS" the address change is saved. BUT if I try to do an address
change and then click "UPDATE ENTIRE ACCOUNT" the address change isn't
saved.

Does someone have experience with the IF command that could help me. I
am trying to make it so that I don't have to have the commands in the
PHP script that processes the form twice by including the " OR
$_POST['submit'] == "Update Entire Account" ) "

RE: IF ( $_POST["submit"] == "Update Subscriptions" OR$_POST["submit"]== "Update Enti

Wouldn't the simplest solution be to update the entire account all the time?
You are presenting all the data to the user each time any way...so updating
the record is a given anyway.

The benefits are that the sql is simplified since there are only two
statments (insert and update) and the code is easier since you only maintain
the if statement for the two branches

i read this line.. and this was realy a waste of script.. i mean this line
$_POST['submit']== "Update Entire Account"
why this line always show up every if line?? i don't know what your script
looks like.. but i sure you this line is waste of typing.

from i read above.. when you click update every account. it respond to do
function in this if line
if ( $_POST['submit'] == "Update Subscriptions" OR $_POST['submit'] ==
"Update Entire Account" ) {

from this point i suggest to not use submit as condition to begin a
function. are your page contain a lot submit button??
fyi.. i'm indonesian and i'm not good on english.. so forgive me. what i
mean about function in here was.. something below the if

if ( $_POST['submit'] == "Update Subscriptions" OR $_POST['submit'] ==>
"Update Entire Account" ) {
//this where i mean function //
}

logical. It is not well structured.

When clicking "UPDATE ADDRESS" you are accomplishing the second IF.

When you click "UPDATE ENTIRE ACCOUNT", you are accomplishing the
first IF and here it's the end of your process. You cannot expect
more things than those present inside this first IF.

As Bastien Koert wrote, it would be better only one button,
You can show all the actual dates to the user:
