Submit or page count not working at all.

oldschr

This is a very simplistic page. I CAN NOT get it working though. By working I mean I can't get the second page to display.

<?
function pagecount($pagecounttemp)
{

$pagecounttemp=$pagecounttemp+1;
echo $pagecounttemp;
return $pagecounttemp;
}

<?
if ($pagecount<=0)
{
?>
<HTML>
<head>
<Title>Test, this is page one.</title>
</head>
<form method=post value=test.php>
<?
$pagecount=$pagecount+0;
?>
<? pagecount($pagecount);
echo "<input type=hidden name=pagecount value=$pagecount>";
?>
<Input type=text value="Pagecount: <? echo $pagecount; ?> ">
<Input type=submit value="Stupid Submit button" onSubmit=" ">
<Input type=reset value="Stupid Reset button">

</form>
<Body>
</body>

</HTML>
<?
}

else
{
?>

<Body>
<P><B>PageCOUNT: <font color=red>
<?
echo $pagecount;
?>
</font>
</B>
</P>
</body>

</HTML>

<?
}
?>

no matter what I do it won't go to that second page. I have tried putting if (!($submit)) and it still won't go to the same page when I submit the page. any help would be GREATLY Appreciated.

Please use the

 tags when posting long code.  It's very hard to tell the formatting, especially when you jump in and out of PHP.

Edit: okay, I looked through it formatted, and realized it wasn't a mistake with that.  You aren't storing the value, so it's always starting off as 0.

The purpose is to do an onSubmit or onClick even in the Submit button. Sorry about not using PHP. I will from now on though.

You haven't supplied an action for the form, either. My suspicion is that you're trying to run the PHP code on the client, which never gets to see any of it because it's already been processed by the server.

Have the form's action refer to the same page. On that page, first check to see if your submit button (which you'll have to give a name to) had been clicked: if(isset($_POST['submitbutton'])) would work if you named the button "submitbutton".

If it is set, show the second page. If it's not, show the first.

No onClick handler, no onSubmit handler, no client-side event handlers.
