Troubble nesting several "pages" on the same page

Hi,
As I cant pass the vars by post using headers, then I am trying to have all the information on the same page.
I have a page when they land on it a form is displayed to choose between 2 radiobuttons. With php I check if one if them is checked, if none is checked an error message is displayed.
If some of them is checked then another content will be displayed depending on button choosen.
This is the landing page in wich I have not included yet the content for the radiobuttons, only an echo to check that it works, and this works perfect:

PHP Code:

Original - PHP Code
<?php if ($_POST['enviar2']) { if (empty($bookingway)) { echo "<span class='style2'>Please choose instant booking or send enquirer and click on send again</span>"; }//if empty else{ if ($bookingway=="instant") { echo "instant"; }//if instant if ($bookingway=="enquirer") { echo "enquirer"; }//if enquirer }//else }//if enviar2 else {?> Text with form enviar2 here}

<?php   if ($_POST['enviar2']) 
{ if (empty($bookingway)) 
 { echo "<span class='style2'>Please choose instant booking or send enquirer and click on send again</span>"; 
}//if empty 
else{ if ($bookingway=="instant")
{ echo "instant";
 }//if instant if ($bookingway=="enquirer")
{ echo "enquirer";
 }//if enquirer }//else
 }//if enviar2
 else {?> Text with form enviar2 here}

Then If they chekc button enquirer I want to display another form wich is a contact form. This form on a separat page works perfect, however when I try to add it inside the { } in this code: if ($bookingway=="enquirer"){ echo "enquirer"; }//if enquirer it does not send any email and dont give me the ok message, it just refresh the page and shows me the form for the landing content.
This is what I try to add into the if ($bookingway=="enquirer"){ echo "enquirer"; }//if enquirer:

PHP Code:

Original - PHP Code

<?php      if ($_POST['enviar']) {  
if (!empty($_POST['name']) && !empty($_POST['tel'])  && !empty($_POST['country']) && !empty($_POST['email']) && !empty($_POST['repeat_email'])  && !empty($_POST['repeat_email']) && $_POST['email'] == $_POST['repeat_email'])
 {  $comments = str_replace("\\r\\n", " ", $comments);  require("includes/class.phpmailer.php");  información mail etc......  echo "form has been sent"; 
 if(!$mail->Send()) 
 {echo "Message could not be sent, enter a valid e-mail. <p>";     echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;     exit;
} 
 }//if not empty  
else { 
echo "<p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p class='red'>Something went wrong<br>You must fill in full name, telephone, country, valid email and repeat email to submit this form and email and repeat email must be equal.</p>";
} 
 }//if enviar?>  
<table width="550px" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">  Here comes the form and ends: <p align="center"><input type="submit" name="enviar" value="Submit" id="submit" class="submit">

I been trying and starring to this....
Isn´t it possible to have a form inside another statement with a form, or is something else wrong?
Thanks,

Edit your post, select the code between the [php] tags, and paste directly into the text box. Don't use the popup dialog to enter code.

Thanks, I done now but it should have the [php]tags....
I managed to do manually starting with [highlight="PHP"] and ending with /[highlight]
However don´t understand how to use the buttons.....guess I´m stupid.

It looks like one cant nest 2 if ($_POST

I done an easy form and I get the same result, instead of getting the ok from the echo, I get the echo for the landing content:

PHP Code:

Original - PHP Code

<?php 
 if ($_POST['send2']) {  
if (empty($bookingway)) {
echo "<span class='style2'>Please choose instant booking or send enquirer and click on send again</span>";
}//if empty
else{
if ($bookingway=="instant"){
    echo "instant";
}//if instant
if ($bookingway=="enquirer"){
echo "enquirer";
if ($_POST['send']) 
{   echo "OK"; }
?><form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];?>" method="post" name="bookingways" id="bookingways">
<p align="center"><input class="boton" type="submit" name="send" value="Send"> </p>
</form> 
<?php }//if enquirer
}//else
}//if send2
else {?>
landing content here with form: name send2
}

send2 and send are not the same variable you know (and you probably do, I think I misread the problem). And you should be using isset() on the $_POST variables.

Uups, sorry, no the name of the forms are ok, I just changed from spanish to english for easier understanding, fixed it now. There are 2 forms.
What do you measn with isset, something like:
if (isset($_POST['enviar2'])) {
?
This does not work either so I have it wrong
Thanks

Of course, how stupid I am, when the page refreshes, it goes to the else as it starting from the beginning.
If I put the if post form bebore the other form I get the echo OK correctly, however I get the else message below, and I dont want it at all, think I tried everything but ther must be a way.
This works but gives me the else from the startpage below the echo OK:
if (isset($_POST['enviar']))
{ echo "OK"; }
if (isset($_POST['enviar2'])) {
