First, IDs must be unique. Period.

http://www.w3/TR/html4/struct/global.html#adef-id

Secondly, that's way too much code and very inefficient DOM traversal.

var forms = document.getElementsByTagName("form");
for(var i = 0; i < forms.length; i++)
{
    forms[i].submit();
}

But I doubt this will work. A form submittal reloads the page in some fashion. How can multiple form submissions occur at once (other than in the extremely obscure case of submitting multiple forms to different windows)?

And if they all must occur at once, why aren't they in a single form?

First. Use unique IDs always

Second. You can send the forms one by one, using Ajax, with jQuery or other library you like. But better, use a single form, adding all your input fields to it. So, when you submit your form, all data will be sent to your PHP script (hint: use unique names for each of the fields, so you can identify which product they represent)
