Passing JavaScript form field to PHP function

harmony_wsc

I am passing a form field in JavaScript to a PHP function. The problem is when the parameter gets inside the PHP function the value is set to 1 when it should be a relative path to a file.

setup_config.php:

        <script type="text/javascript">
            function install(){
...
Install.ExecuteDBScript(document.getElementById('path').value, document.getElementById('self-serve').checked, function (result)
                    {
alert("result = " + result);
... }
}

install.class.php:

        function ExecuteDBScript($path, $selfserve, $check=0) {
            $tspace = "CREATE TABLESPACE ".$schema." DATAFILE
                    '".addslashes($path)."\\$schema.DBF' SIZE 2M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 2M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
                    LOGGING
                    PERMANENT
                    EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL AUTOALLOCATE
                    BLOCKSIZE 8K
                    SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT MANUAL
                    FLASHBACK ON";
return $path;
}

The alert displays a 1. Any ideas why?

No idea. You didn't supply all the code. Please use the code formatting tags around your code so it's highlighted and readable.

All the code above is doing is taking a value from a form field and passing it to a PHP function in a different file.

I displayed an alert before the call to the PHP code and I know the field is set correctly. I pass the field to the PHP function and then return the field. I display another alert when the field is returned from the PHP function and the value is 1. The value went from being C:\orant\ora10g\oradata\alio to being 1. Why?

document.getElementById('path').value = C:\orant\ora10g\oradata\alio before the PHP function.

Is this alright:
'self-serve' and '$selfserve'

I think this looks mysterious,
especially the 2 single quotes in this

<?php
$tspace = 
"CREATE TABLESPACE ".$schema." DATAFILE
   '".addslashes($path)."\\$schema.DBF' SIZE 2M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 2M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
                    LOGGING
                    PERMANENT
                    EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL AUTOALLOCATE
                    BLOCKSIZE 8K
                    SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT MANUAL
                    FLASHBACK ON";
