Calling a Funtion as a form action?

[homchz]

Is it possible to call a funtion as form action?

Probably not...why would you ever need to do that? You can call javascript functions via onsubmit event per form though.

<form action='someurl.php' onsubmit='runjsfunc()'>

I am with bretticus here. Why would you? What did you have in mind? Javascript will work as he pointed out, or you could call the function on the action page... but, what is it you want to do????

My thought was to take away the action page, and include a methods I have in a class that would redirect back to the same place the action page would.

Just a thought. Now I know it won't work.

Thanks for the info

Do you mean you want to get rid of the form handler? If so, you can simply make the action of the page, the page itself.

Hi,

This issue for my case it is important.

I have a php file that has a post.
but this post is not manual, it´s through a cronjob, and for me it does not work.

in my file named "file_that_sends_post.php" I have:

---

<?php
.
.
.

$string2=999;
$customer_post_key=555;
$action=$customer_domain."/file_post_receiver.php";

?>

<form name=”post” action=<?php echo $action ?> method="post" >
<input type="hidden" name="string" value=<?php echo $string2 ?> >
<input type="hidden" name="origem" value=<?php echo $customer_post_key ?> >
</form>

<script language="JavaScript">
document.forms[0].submit();
</script>

---

And this works perfect if I run it on a browser like firefox!

but this does NOT work if I run it on a cron job on the server . The cron Job Im using is:

wget -nd --delete-after 'http://www.mydomain.com/file_that_sends_post.php' >/dev/null 2>&1

I think it´s the javascript part...that apache can´t execute.
is it?

Can anyone help me on this one?

many thanks.
