I have the following php code on a separate page named serverqrys.php
<?php
mysql_connect(“localhost”, “root”, “”) or die(mysql_error());
echo “Connected to MySQL<br />”;
mysql_select_db(“buildingpoint”) or die(mysql_error());
echo “Connected to Database”;
?>
And a java script function that displays a form again on button click
function showform(controlId)
{
var mycontrol=document.getElementById(controlId);
if(mycontrol.style.display==”none”)
mycontrol.style.display=”block”;
}
and my html page with the form looks something like this:
<a href=”#” onclick=”showform(‘postjob’);”>POST A JOB</a>
<form id=”postjob” name=”postjob” action=”serverqrys.php” method=”post” style=”display:none;”>
<table><tr><td>Name:</td>
<td><input name=”loged_name” type=”text”/></td>
</tr>
// other form controls bla bla……………..
<tr><td colspan=”2″ align=”center”><input name=”post_job” type=”button” value=”SUBMIT” /></td>
</tr></table></form>
when I click the submit button the php page is not shown but when I test the php page alone without calling it from the html page it works fine. Where am I going wrong?
