hi have a problem here,can anyone tell me how can i post the value of a button?

here’s a sample:

[code=html]
<body>
<form method=”POST” action=”2ndpage.php”>
<input type=”button” value=”THIS IS THE VALUE I WANT TO GET” name=”MyBUTTON”>This button calls a javascript that changes its VALUE

<input type=”submit” value=”SEND MyBUTTON VALUES”>

</form>
</body>
[/code]

[code=php]
Here in the 2ndpage.php i want something like this
<?
echo $_POST[‘MyBUTTON’];
?>
[/code]

That’s i want to do,if it’s not possible is there a workaround for it?tnx in advance..

@furnissgMay 30.2008 — The button value does not get passed by the post,

try using a hidden field along side the button, you can always use javascript to change that value aswell.

@nebchill26authorMay 30.2008 — i already have s javascript that changes the value of the button,all i have to do now is to transfer that javascript variable to become a php variable,is that possible?if it is can you give me a simple example?

@furnissgMay 30.2008 — ima ssuming your javascript functon is something along the lines of

onclick="document.MyButton.value = 'SOME VALUE';"

so all you need to do is create a hidden field

[code=php]

<input type="hidden" name="MyButtonValue" value="SOME Value" />


[/code]

Then change the javascript function to change that value instead of the button


[code=php]

onclick="document.MyButtonValue.value = 'SOME VALUE';"

[/code]

Success!
