Splitting Strings.

miles_rich

ok well i was given a way of doing one thing, but that leads me to more questions.

i need to split a string before it is submited with the "GET" way to another form. if i submit a value say "Php-4" how would i split this string on the "-" and put the other two values into different variable and then submit them?? so the url would look like this

"index.php?value1=Php value2=4"

instead of this

"index.php?value=Php-4"

if you have any idea or any code which does this could you please get back to me.

So you have a form on a page, then before this form is submitted, you want the input value splitting? If so, you would need to use Javascript.

The best way would be to split the input value in the script that the form is submitted to.

i cant do that because i need the value 4 to make up a calculation on the first page.it has to be split when the drop down list is clicked on.

In that case you would need to use Javascript.

PHP only acts when the form is submitted, it cannot be called after a user action.
