PHP-function as action of an HTML-form?

[Anon]

Hello,

can anyone tell me whether it is possible that when an HTML-form is submitted a php-function is activated, instead of moving to another page (where the action script is). If so how is this done? I couldn't find this is the PHP-manual ...

how about you direct the form action to the page you are currently on and toggle a variable to run the function when the page gets reloaded.

Please be a bit more specific, what do you mean by 'toggle a variable'? I've created a function go(). Now I want that this function is executed when a user hits the submit button of a form.

Thanks for your reply, Mike

No, PHP does not work like Javascript. You will have to either reload the page on submit or send the contents to a different page.

Craig suggested reloading the same page, but passing a value such as:
INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="functoggle" VALUE="1"

Then, when the page is reloaded, have PHP check for the value of functoggle and execute the function go() if equal to 1.
