Calling A Function Using A Form

[jeff_lawik]

Hello,

I don't know how to call a function using a form.

Example:

function update ();
{
query update msyql database w/ variables of the form.
}

form

• the reason i don't use a standard query is because i don't want the query to execute until i am ready to use it.

Thanks For The Help!

Well since the PHP is parsed before being sent to the browser what you could do is have the form page call itself with a variable set as a flag which you can test for with an if statement when the page is run then if the variable is set run the function. $PHP_SELF?action=runFunction as an example of a form action to do this (for this to work the method MUST be post). then just check to see if action == "runFunction" and if it does run your function....
