This request is actually two parts:
1) Add conditional logic to the submit button, so that it only shows if certain circumstances are met. For instance, I have a form that I want no fields to show up until the select from the first dropdown. Unfortunately, the submit button is still visible and working.
2) Ability to add additional submit buttons. For instance, in a form with different conditional sections, it could potentially be nice to have a different submit button for each.

It would be really nice to have the submit button go to a certain follow up page depending on a conditional logic selector.
For instance...I have an option at the end of my form that says:
Pay Online
Pay In Store
If they choose pay online, submit should take them to pay online page.
If they choose pay in store, submit should take them to a thank you page with further instructions.

You can already do something like this with just a few extra steps. You would need to pass a parameter from the form to your confirmation page and then process a redirect based on the value in the string.
Then, on the confirmation page, you could use a simple switch statement to send the visitor to the page of your choice.
<?php
$purchase = $_GET['purchase'];
switch ($purchase)
{
case online:
header("Location: http://www.domain.com/online.html");
break;
case in_store:
header("Location: http://www.domain.com/in-store.html");
break;
}
?>of course, these are my samples, you would need to adjust the field names and values to suit your form.

Having conditional logic for the submit button would be very helpful for me as well. I'd like to create a little padlock game with a series of multiple choice conditions. When the correct pattern is entered, the user would be able to submit the form and enter to win a prize. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
@kyounger No you can't currently have additional submit buttons. These are feature requests.
@knife - conditional logic can be applied to the submit button now. You can set a single checkbox for "agree to terms of service" and base the conditional logic on it. If the field isn't checked, the submit button doesn't show.
The button conditional logic options can be found under the main form settings for each form.

Kevin in your steps above....where should i insert the php code?
i am working on an educational site where people need to choose courses, the submit button needs to redirect to different event registration pages...
thanks in advance :)
@danielpettifer, regarding this code:
http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/add-conditional-logic-to-submit-button#post-1591
That is a discrete PHP file stored on your server. Call it whatever you want (redirection.php is OK) and put it in your theme folder. Then use that file as part of the redirect URL. So the url will look like
http://example.com/wp-content/themes/themename/redirection.php
Now, that file has the logic to "catch" the value of "purchase" you are sending.
What I would do is send one parameter name (in this case 'purchase') and send different values. Then the code (the "case" statements) will be extended to handle all your options (6 you say.) So, maybe you will have a parameter name of "course" and send it in the query string like this:
?course=algebra
?course=spelling
?course=cooking
?course=bicycling
?course=kayaking
?course=sleeping
If that were the case, you will use change "purchase" to "course" and instead of 2 cases in the switch statement, you will have 6, and each one is exactly as listed above.
Please let us know if you need more help. This is a very old topic and our advice has changed and gotten better since this was written. I can't find the newer topic though.

Thanks for your help....have been busy sorry :)
It's becoming slightly more complicated....I will explain
I have a central webpage that gives you the ability to book a course in one of our seven branches... I want to put the gravity form in a sidebar widget and I would them to be able to choose between two different parameters... the branch location...and the course...... I think it will be something along the lines of if parameter1=london and parameter2=cooking then redirect to http://blablabla.....
But I really have no idea how to implement this.....I can follow a tutorial if you have any advice on where to look.....
thanks again for your amazing service!

OK.......so call me stupid but............in the confirmation tab I can "Pass Field Data Via Query String".
I can separate the field data with a / = for example : {Branch:1}/{Course:2}
This works perfectly, however........ it is putting a question mark before {Branch:1}
http:www.mycourse.com/?london/cooking
Could i possibly clean up this information as it is passed...this would be much simpler

Please can you help with this..... .. . . . I have everything set up but I am using a local server (mamp),
it's set to port 8888 and is being automatically shortened to localhost which isn't working. Do you think I am experiencing problems because I am working locally? I tried hosting the redirection file on another server but that also doesn't work.......
