Syntax question?

[jeff_tet]

I want to be able to pass a vairables value to another php file and I';m not sure the correct syntax, this is what i have:

<input type="button" name="del_btn" value="Delete" onclick="if (confirm('Are you Sure you want to delete this record?')) { window.location = 'http://localhost/somgmnt/del.php?'+sonum;}">

sonum is the variable that contains the value that I want sent .

Thanks

Assuming that sonum is a PHP variable, and not a form variable, use :

http://localhost/somgmnt/delphp?varname=".$sonum."

hope that helps

[jeff_tet]

what if it is a form variable?

[maxpup979]

If it's a form variable, then I would usually create a hidden formfield that has the value, and turn the button into a submit. But thats just me. You can use javascript to append that value, much like you have done.

JS is fine for this. It's not the most effecient, but it works anyways.

<form name="form" action="javascript://" method="">
<input type="text" name="fname" />
<input type="button" name="submit" value="Go!" onClick="javascript:relocate()" />
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
function relocate()
{
     fname = document.form.fname.value;
     location = "phpscript.php?fname=" + fname;
}
</script>

<?=$_GET['fname']?>
