Form processing with PHP

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 21.2004

Hello,

My objective is to pre-process a checkout form before HTTP POST, depending on 2 options: Home delivery or Self collection. For Home Delivery I’ll display specific details on the checkout form that won’t be displayed if the other option is selected.

There is probably a way with PHP, to retrieve the current value of a selected menu option on the form, pass it to a PHP variable to present the form in its relevant context, before posting it ? How would you do that ?

Thanks for your feedback.

@moondanceJun 21.2004 — it might be more helpful if you post your form.

From what i gather your saying, you want php to check if a form variable is one value or another, then display the appropriate output.

So if you have a textbox called "txtDeliveryOption", when you submit the form you will have a variable called $_POST['txtDeliveryOption'].

So if the user enters "Home Delivery" in the textbox, then :

$_POST['txtDeliveryOption'] = "Home Delivery"

The same applies to checkboxes, radio and listboxes.

@philerimosauthorJun 22.2004 — Yes, no problem if I post. Just wanted to find a way to make the form more interactive based on preliminary choices made by the user before posting. I thought there was a way to capture the currently "selected" state of a particular menu option and possibly build a PHP function to render the HTML in each case...
