Hi there, I have stuck with the following!
I have 2 different forms to search names, and cities, so except the function search() I have function search_names() and function search_city()

Now my problem is that I don't want to have 3 different forms and I don't want to use ajax, I want to have one and with some option stuff to change to the right function.

Is there any idea how to make work this!

Set form up with radio buttons.
One for names.
One for city.
(obviously a field for your search query is also required)

When form entered, use the activated radio to direct search query to the relevant function.

Hey philmoz thanks for your answer
finally I decided to use those forms in 3 different pages

Simplest way is to give each submit button a unique name. Then check if it was submitted, and process accordingly.

    <form id="form_1" action="" method="post">
        <input type="submit" name="submit_1" value="Submit" />
    </form>

    <form id="form_2" action="" method="post">
        <input type="submit" name="submit_2" value="Submit" />
    </form>


<?php

if( $_POST['submit_1'] ) {

    // Do stuff

}
else if( $_POST['submit_2'] ) {

  // Do stuff

}

?>
It's a bit hackish, but will do exactly what you need it to.
