data into PHP variable

[gubbachchi]

Hi,

How to get data from a text field into php variable without using POST variables because I need the text field value in the same PHP page.

With regards

You can POST the form to the same page
<form action="">

Othewise, you'll have to use some client side code.

Can you please give me some idea of client side code

Please clarify the question. What do you mean you 'need the text field value in the same page?
Perhaps you need to draw out the field values from a database via php, but send the form variables back into the database through a different php script either elsewhere on the same page, or on another page(specified in the form 'action' attribute).

But basically, you can only send out form variable values with POST and GET superglobals.

If you make it clearer, I'll make this clearer.

Hi there..

If you need the text value into php variable in the same page check out this code..
but remember that method 'get' is default. No need to specify.

<form name="f1">
<input type="text" name="t" value="">
<?php
$a = $_GET['t'];
echo $a;
//you can check same php variable value in t2 textbox by just uncommenting.
?>
<!-- <input type="text" name="t2" value="<?php // echo $a; ?>"; -->
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>

Hope this will help you out
