PHP Variables From HTML

[matcom]

Hi.

BRAND new to PHP and this forum so excuse my ignorance and thank you in advance. I have a PHP calculator form that i want users to access. only problem is the script is actually several calculators that use variables to denote which one.

Ex: <select onChange="document.frm00.submit();" name="calc_type"
<option value="0" selected>Payment/Amortization</option><option value="1">Extra Payments</option><option value="2">Rent vs Buy</option><option value="3">Should I Refinance</option><option value="4">Points vs No Points</option> </option>

being the newbie that i am, how would i configure an HTML text link to go to a SPECIFIC calc?

thanks again. my PHP manual has been ordered 🙂

first off see which page the form frm000 submits to.

then this would be the link

<a href="page_that_frm000_submits_to.php?calc_type=0">Payment/Amortization</a>

and so on.

u also need to see if any other hidden variables are in the form then u need to add on those variable names and values to the link
