Combining two or more submit buttons into one

I have submit buttons for different section of the webpage. The submit button is used to update the forms and database with the text value in the form fields. Currently, each submit button updates the forms (tied to their respective PKEY id, "consideration_no") only in their own sections. I want to update all the sections forms with one button click.
As you can see from the code below, there are 2 submit buttons. I have tried to link two together through IDs but it did not work for me.
// Include config file
require_once "config.php";
// Define variables and initialize with empty values

$question_err = $answer_err = "";

$counter = 0;
// Get hidden input value
$dg_no = $_POST['dg_no'];
$consideration_no = $_REQUEST['consideration_no'];
$answer = $_POST['answer'];
// Check input errors before inserting in database
if(empty($answer_err)){
// Validate address address
$input_answer = trim($_POST["answer"]);

$answer_err = "Please enter an answer.";

I want it to update all the fields, in different sections, with one submit button

your code was bit difficult to read, but from what i understood you are trying to combine two or more form submissions into one. It's quiet simple
<form method="POST" action="save.php">
<input type=text name=name[] />
<input type=text name=name[] />
</form>
by using the [] to identify the input element you can have multiple values with the same name where you can access them from the PHP script as an array.
For example the above example will produce an array as follows
<?php
print_r($_POST['name']); //("name" => Array....
is this clear enough for you? if not drop a comment, i will explain more. As a side note i do recommend you look into using template engine, and also a framework in your coding project.

Here's what I see when i separate the html into a new file. I tried to remove the excess forms but when I open the last collapsible section, it instantly executes a submit action and brings me back to the home page.
<button class="collapsible"><?php echo $section ?></button>
<div class="content">
<button class="collapsible"><?php echo $subsection ?></button>
<form action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])); ?>" method="post">
<?php
//while loop start
?>
<form action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])); ?>" method="post">
<div class="form-group <?php echo (!empty($answer_err)) ? 'has-error' : ''; ?>">
<label><?php echo $question; ?></label>
<input type="text" name="answer[]" class="form-control" value="<?php echo $answer; ?>">
<span class="help-block"><?php echo $answer_err;?></span>
<input type="hidden" name="consideration_no[]" value="<?php echo $consideration_no; ?>"/>
<input type="hidden" name="dg_no" value="<?php echo $dg_no; ?>"/>
</div>
<?php
//while loop ends
?>
<input type="Submit" name = "$consideration_no[]" class="btn btn-primary" value="Submit">
Cancel
</form>
</div>
<?php
//while loop start
?>
<form action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])); ?>" method="post">
<div class="form-group <?php echo (!empty($answer_err)) ? 'has-error' : ''; ?>">
<label><?php echo $question; ?></label>
<input type="text" name="answer[]" class="form-control" value="<?php echo $answer; ?>">
<span class="help-block"><?php echo $answer_err;?></span>
<input type="hidden" name="consideration_no[]" value="<?php echo $consideration_no; ?>"/>
<input type="hidden" name="dg_no" value="<?php echo $dg_no; ?>"/>
</div>
<?php
//while loop ends
?>
<input type="Submit" name = "$consideration_no[]" class="btn btn-primary" value="Submit">

Php refresh page without lossing the table view

What should I do in order to not loss the table view every time I update the data below of my table.
Please help me for our project.
Where should I put the script in my code? Here is my code
this is my firstpage.php
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo '<td colspan="8" style="text-align:center;">';
echo '<a rel="facebox" href="editperq.php?access_code='.$code.'&pe='.$row['fld_qper'].'">'.$row['fld_qper'].'</a>';
echo "%";
echo '</td>';
}
this is my editperq.php
<form action="editperqexec.php" method="post">
<input name="access_code" type="hidden" class="ed" id="brnu" value="<?php echo $_GET['access_code']; ?>" />
Percentage <br />
<input name="percentage" required="" autofocus type="text" class="ed" id="brnu" value="<?php echo $_GET['pe']; ?>" />
<br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="save" id="button1" />
</form>
and this is my ediperqexec.php
<?php
mysql_connect("localhost","root") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("mydb") or die(mysql_error());
$access_code=$_POST['access_code'];
$percentage=$_POST['percentage'];
mysql_query("UPDATE tblpercentage SET fld_qper='$percentage' WHERE access_code='$access_code'");
header('location: firstpage.php');
?>
As you can see the header('location: firstpage.php') every time I want to update my records below of my table it always goes back at top of my table view.
this is my table preview

Javascript - change input value on click not working

Here's a div which represents cart item qty field:
<div class="cart_quantity_div">
<form action="cart.php" method="post">
<button class="cart_qty_controls" onclick="minusOne(qty_field_<?php echo $item_id; ?>)">-</button>
<input type="text" name="cart_item_qty" value="<?php echo $each_item['quantity']; ?>" size="1" maxlength="3" id="qty_field_<?php echo $item_id; ?>"/>
<input type="submit" name="qty_adjust_cart<?php echo $item_id; ?>" value="change" class="cart_qty_adjust_btn"/>
<input type="hidden" name="cart_item_to_adjust_qty" value="<?php echo $item_id; ?>"/>
</form>
</div>
It is a draft version so don't pay attention to submit and hidden inputs
And JS code:
function minusOne (input_id){
var subtracted_qty = document.getElementById(qty_field_id).value = document.getElementById(qty_field_id).value - 1;
document.getElementById(qty_field_id).value = subtracted_qty;
}
I want to change value of input text field by clicking minus button by -1. But for some reason it's not working.
Can you, please, review my code and find whats wrong with it. Or maybe there is some better ways to do such qty change..

Your code does not set the variable qty_field_id, nor does it use the variable input_id. If input_id is referring to the same value as PHP’s $item_id, then try adding the following line to the top of the JavaScript function:
var qty_field_id = "qty_field_" + input_id;

You shouldn't use inline javascript and you aren't referencing the correct element. Try this instead:
HTML:
<div class="cart_quantity_div">
<form action="cart.php" method="post">
<button class="cart_qty_controls" data-productId="<?php echo $item_id; ?>">-</button>
<input type="text" name="cart_item_qty" value="<?php echo $each_item['quantity']; ?>" size="1" maxlength="3" id="qty_field_<?php echo $item_id; ?>"/>
<input type="submit" name="qty_adjust_cart<?php echo $item_id; ?>" value="change" class="cart_qty_adjust_btn"/>
<input type="hidden" name="cart_item_to_adjust_qty" value="<?php echo $item_id; ?>"/>
</form>
</div>
JS:
[].slice.call(document.getElementsByClassName('cart_qty_controls')).forEach(function(el){
el.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
var id = e.target.getAttribute('data-productId');
document.getElementById('qty_field_' + id).value -= 1;
})
})

SESSION variable slow to update textfield in php

I have a form, contained 3 fields, which when the submit button in submitted,
it will changes the session variable values according to the fields, in this case there are 3 variables. then i echo back the variable onto the fields.
For the first time submit, it stores the value beautifully and display in the fields correctly, the problem is that, when i submit the second time, the values are still the same. after i refresh the page, then the values in the fields are changed.
this is partially the codes i'm using now.
<?php
session_start();?>
?>
<form name="form1" id="form1" action="">
<input type="text" name="acc1" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['acc_main']" />
<input type="text" name="acc2" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['acc_id']" />
<input type="text" name="acc3" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['acc_cat']" />
<input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']) != '')
{
$_SESSION['acc_main'] = $_POST['acc1'];
$_SESSION['acc_id'] = $_POST['acc2'];
$_SESSION['acc_cat'] = $_POST['acc3'];
}
?>
After i refresh(F5), then the value changed. i want it to be, when i clicked the submit button, it will change to the new value.

PHP Code:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']) != '')
{
$_SESSION['acc_main'] = $_POST['acc1'];
$_SESSION['acc_id'] = $_POST['acc2'];
$_SESSION['acc_cat'] = $_POST['acc3'];
echo '<script type="text/javascript">'
, 'jsfunctionToPrintUpdatedValues();'
, '</script>'
;
}
?>
Javascript Sample Code
function jsfunctionToPrintUpdatedValues()
{
/* retrieve the updated session variables in javascript variables */
var acc_main_js = <?php echo $_SESSION['acc_main']?>
var acc_id_js = <?php echo $_SESSION['acc_id']?>
var acc_cat_js = <?php echo $_SESSION['acc_cat']?>
document.getElementById("main").value=acc_main_js;
document.getElementById("id").value=acc_main_js;
document.getElementById("cat").value=acc_main_js;
}

in the input fields you have to write like this
`
Below
`
<input type="text" name="acc1" value="<?php if(isset($_SESSION['acc_main'])) echo $_SESSION['acc_main']" />

Use if(isset($_POST['submit']) != '') before the form. Change your code to this:
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_POST['submit']) != '')
{
$_SESSION['acc_main'] = $_POST['acc1'];
$_SESSION['acc_id'] = $_POST['acc2'];
$_SESSION['acc_cat'] = $_POST['acc3'];
?>
<form name="form1" id="form1" action="">
<input type="text" name="acc1" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['acc_main']" />
<input type="text" name="acc2" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['acc_id']" />
<input type="text" name="acc3" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['acc_cat']" />
<input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>
<?php
}else{
?>
<form name="form1" id="form1" action="">
<input type="text" name="acc1" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['acc_main']" />
<input type="text" name="acc2" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['acc_id']" />
<input type="text" name="acc3" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['acc_cat']" />
<input type="submit" name="submit">
<?php } ?>

Why does my javascript not update quantity in Opencart category.tpl

In category.tpl Opencart 1.5.x
I'm trying to add quantity to the add to cart button.
<div class="cart">
<input type="text" name="quantity<?php echo $product['product_id']; ?>" value="1" size="1" />
<input type="button" value="<?php echo $button_cart; ?>" onclick="addToCart('<?php echo $product['product_id']; ?>', 'document.form.quantity<?php echo $product['product_id']; ?>.value')" class="button" />
</div>
If I just put a number in for the second variable of addToCart like
addToCart('<?php echo $product['product_id']; ?>', 2);
This adds quantity 2 fine. Checking the element name in ff shows me the number is coming back from php correctly "quantity6.value", etc. Apparently, but when I click Add to Cart nothing happens. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Just to make it more succinct I changed the line to:
" onclick="addToCart('', document.getElementById('quantity').value)" class="button" />
But still the button does not appear to do anything on a click. I assume the document.getElementById().. line is not returning the number properly, but I'm not sure of a good way to test it.
Neither does this seem to work:
<div class="cart">
<input type="text" name="quantity<?php echo $product['product_id']; ?>" value="1" size="1" onchange="updateQty(<?php echo $product['product_id']; ?>);" />
<input type="button" value="<?php echo $button_cart; ?>" onclick="addToCart('<?php echo $product['product_id']; ?>', getQty(<?php echo $product['product_id']; ?>);)" class="button" />
</div>
...
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
function getQty(num) {
getQty = document.getElementById('quantity' & num).value;
}
function updateQty(num) {
var ibox = document.form.quanity[num].value;
quantity[num] = ibox;
}
...
</script>

This seems a little overdone to be honest. You can do this with one function simply by changing the function on the onclick event to addToCartCategory() and changing the name to an ID for the quantity box. Something along the lines of
<div class="cart">
<input type="text" id="quantity<?php echo $product['product_id']; ?>" value="1" size="1" />
<input type="button" value="<?php echo $button_cart; ?>" onclick="addToCartCategory(<?php echo $product['product_id']; ?>)" class="button" />
</div>
...
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
function addToCartCategory(product_id) {
var qty = $('#quantity' + product_id).val();
addToCart(product_id, qty);
}
...
</script>
