Posting forms to self or new function - El Forum - 11-04-2010

Hello,
I am new to MVC and frameworks so sorry if this is a dummy question.
Previously working with plain PHP I have submitted forms to the same page then in the code put:
Code:
if($_POST) {
//do form
} else {
//do something else
}From all of the online tutorials I have noticed people post forms to a new function similar to the following:
Code:
class User extends Controller {
function login() {
// normal
}
function login_submit() {
//submit form
}
}Is this the right way of going about things or can I post to the same function if I want?
It seems that for things like admin areas where there are lots of forms I will need double the amount of functions especially when the login() function appears to just serve a view and doesn't particularly do anything else.
Thanks
Dave.

I like to submit forms to the same function. There is no right or wrong way to do it. Do what works for you. The first way works for me.

Thanks for your responses.
Think I'll stick with everything in one function.
