An alternative could be to have bog standard links to your files. — Progrock

An aside: you might want to url encode your query string. See url_encode and/or http_build_query. — Progrock

Your page of form where you will create form

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>"method="post">
    <!-- radio button -->
    <input type="radio" name="sel" value="board">
    <input type="radio" name="sel" value="your_other_value">
    <!-- radio button -->
   <!-- Drop Down -->
    <input type="option" name="boardlist" value="board">
    <input type="option" name="desgwise" value="Designation">
    <!-- radio button -->

    <input type="hidden" name="staff">
    <input type="hidden" name="desg">
    <input type="submit" name="search">
</form>
</body>
</html>

This is your export_data1.php file

<?php
if(isset($_POST['search'])){
    if($sel == 'board'){
        header('Location: export_data.php?num='.$_POST['boardlist'];
    } else {
        header('Location: export_data1.php?num='.$_POST['desgwise'];
    }
}
?>

export_data & export_data1 have different format for export xlsx file

Is this Jeopardy? What's different with this approach here? What's $sel?

Progrock Over a year ago

I assume the difference here is that instead of having two separate export scripts, you are merging them into one script. I think I prefer the separation of responsibility, unless the code is practically identical. Differentiated URLs could also be a good thing.

i separate into two files. action="export_data1.php?desg=<?php echo $desg ?>" is it correct method to passing parameters
