First time through I've realized $form will be unset and there is not
default form, and as your first if statement doesn't offer an else that will
always be the case.
You need a form name to post to on the first run, and I would suggest in
this case posting back to itself for the sake of the exercise. You haven't
included the code that detirmines why "some.php" in one case and "other.php"
in an other, though I'm sure you know the reasons.
Perhaps you should set the $form var to the name of the first form you need
to call when $_POST['B1'])) is *not* set.
Or, just call the form itself as below on the first post.
Ie;
<?php
$form = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($_POST['B1'])) {
echo "<br><br><br>";
if (empty($_POST['app_fname'])) {
$form='some.php';
}else{
$form='other.php';
}
}
?>
<html>
etc.
