1 form 2 actions

<form name="ipladder" id="ipladder" action="/checkuser/master-check.php"  method="post">
<input name="ipladder" type="text" id="ipladder" />

<input type="submit" name="submit" id="botton" value="Check" /> 
<input type="submit" name="geo" id="botton"/>
</input></form>

I have one input box and 2 submit buttons. When the first button is pressed (name="submit") I want it to go to master-check.php as specified in the action= parameter. However when the geo button is pressed, I want it to go through a different action which I haven't specified because I didn't know how to do so.

What can I do so I can have 1 input box and 2 buttons each processing through different action files?

Well you can achieve your goal by single php page as well. on mastercheck.php something like this can help you.

    <?php 
    if($_POST['submit'])
    {
       //you code for master-check.php
    }
else if(isset($_POST['geo']))
{
   //you code for other page goes here
}
?>

Instead of using form action, I think you can use Ajax to achieve what you want. It will be something like this:

<form name="ipladder" id="ipladder" method="post">
    <input type="text" id="ipladder2" name="ipladder2" />
    <input type="button" id="button1" name="submit" value="Check" onclick="action1()" />
    <input type="button" id="button2" name="geo"    value="Something else" onclick="action2()" />
</form>

and in the header you can define 2 Ajax functions:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function action1() 
    {
        $.ajax({
           type: "POST",
           url: "/checkuser/master-check.php",
           data: $("ipladder2").val(),
           success: //do something,
           dataType: //return dataType
        }); 
    }

    function action2() 
    {
        $.ajax({
           type: "POST",
           url: //other URL,
           data: $("ipladder2").val(),
           success: //do something else,
           dataType: //return dataType
        }); 
    }
</script>

Make a single PHP script that handles which button has been pressed and then redirects to correct PHP handling script (after correcting what Juhana commented of course).

Maybe you can try altering the "action" parameter of your form in an onclick method that, after changing, submits the form. Something like:

$('#btn1').click(function(){
  $('#ipladder').attr('action', 'location1.php');
  $('#ipladder').submit();
});

$('#btn2').click(function(){
  $('#ipladder').attr('action', 'location2.php');
  $('#ipladder').submit();
});

Another option of couse, is to post to 1 page...and handle the logic (some redirect or whatever) there.
