Getting Values from a Form using PHP

Anon

I was wondering if there was a way to get values from a form using PHP without having to submit the form?

Thank,

perhaps use javascript. other than that, as far as i know, no.

Perhaps what you're asking is how to pull up default values for the fields?

If so all you have to do is set a default value to the html input field

<?PHP

echo "<form action='formaction.php'>\n";

echo "<input type='text' name='variable' value='$variable_default' size='whatever'>";

echo "</form>";

Write back if this doesn't answer your question...

I worked on an application where we wanted to be sure data was saved from a form even if a person didn't hit a submit button. We ended up using javascript using the onunload tag in the body:

Hope this is what you had in mind...if not, post again with more specifics.

Thanks,
