Can anyone help with a problem i am having with these annoying things.

i need to know how to get a form to submit and take a value then split it into 2 parts.

i can do the splitting bit,but how can i get the form to submit and force these 2 values into 2 variables.

In the html page you need:

// the rest of your form goes here.

do you mean you've got

<form>
<input type=text name=input value=input>
</form>

when you want to get
$input1 = in;
$input2 = put;

try doing this. (i'm assuming that your var splitter is a javascript function)

<head>
<script language=Javascript>
function split()
{
.....
[i]formname[/i].[i]hidden_input1.value[/i]=splitvar1
[i]formname[/i].[i]hidden_input2.value[/i]=splitvar2
}
</script>
<body>
<form onSubmit="split()" name=[i]formname[/i]>
<input type=hidden name=[i]hidden_input1[/i] value="">
<input type=hidden name=[i]hidden_input2[/i] value="">
.....
</form>

Basically, you use your function to split the input into 2 separate vars, then set 2 hidden inputs to these values. Your processing script now just needs to access the 2 hidden inputs.
