Two Editor instances with PHP Server-Side processing

szakendre

Dear Friend,
I have a database with more than 50 fields, so I want to separate the editor form (basic datas / extended datas).
Of course it doesn't work. I did the two Custom Forms, And I did the two Editor instances.

editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor(
    {
        "ajax": "/staff.php",
        "table": "#example",
        "template": '#customForm',
        "fields":
        [...

    editor2 = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor(
    {
        "ajax": "/staff2.php",
        "table": "#example",
        "template": '#customForm2',
        "fields":
        [...

Question: Shall I use different (staff.php and staff2.php) server-side script, or shall I use the same?

In the staff.php I build the Editor instance:

$editor = Editor::inst( $db, $TABLE_TO_USE, 'torzsszam' )
    ->fields(...

$editor->process( $_POST );
$editor->json();

Question: How can I build the other instance? $editor2 = Editor?
Question: Can I use the same primary key (torzsszam) for both instances?

P.S.: Do You have any other idea how to handle such a big form?

Thank You and Best regards:
Endre, Szak

I would suggest in this case that you should use two different PHP scripts.

Yes, you can use an individual one if you wanted, and then use a parameter (usually a GET parameter in the URL) to indicate which table should actually be used), but if you aren't certain about that method, use two different scripts.
