PHP Process 2 forms at once

I would like to know if its possible to process 2 forms at once? my scenario is this:

I have a contact page on my website which consists of:

section 1 is always the same is a form on its own, where as section 2 will only show details for one of the options (selectable from drop down box.)

so in total I have 4 forms of which 2 will always be filled in, and i need to process them both to email through to me. I don't want to have to include section 1 at the top of each form if i can help it)

I hope this all makes sense.

You can only submit one form at a time. You have a couple of options:

1) Combine the two forms into one form and use CSS/JavaScript to show/hide the relevant fields. This way, all of the form fields will be submitted (including the ones you're not interested in). This is what I would do.

2) When the user submits the form, use JavaScript to send the appropriate data to the backend.

Any reason you dont want to make it one form? Seems like it would be a lot easier to make it one form and do all of the processing on the other side.

Long story short: You can only submit one form at a time.
