Re: [PHP] Javascript and $_POST

Don't see how this can pass the check without document.

if (inputForm.cc_phone_number.value == "") {
alert( "Please enter a phone number." );
inputForm.cc_phone_number.focus();
return;
}

Comming to this check already gives an error.
Maybe ask on some Javascript list.

P.s. reply to the list please.

There is nothing wrong with the way you want to submit this form.
Although it's JS :) The sample code you posted was broken in some
ways...

missing document. in JS en missing input field to check.

This sample works fine ...

test.html

<script language="JavaScript">
function checkForm() {

if (document.inputForm.cc_phone_number.value == "") {
alert( "Please enter a phone number." );
document.inputForm.cc_phone_number.focus();
return;
}

document.inputForm.submit();
}

</script>
<title></title>
<LINK rel="style***" type="text/css" href="../../CSS/background.css">
</head>
<body>
<div align="center">
<h2></h2>
<h3>Submit a New Payment.</h3>
</div>

<form name="inputForm" action="save.php" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="cc_phone_number" value="8756765756757" />
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
width="680">
<tr>
<td width="64" align="left"><a href="javascript:checkForm()"
title="Save">Save</a></td>
<td width="616" align="left"><a href="javascript:closeThis()"
title="Close">Close</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

</body>
</html>

save.phhp

<?php print_r($_POST); ?>

Think some other code or JS errors might stop the form from sending
data.

I put it right before the </form> tag, but I think you could put it
anywhere between the <form> and the </form>

right?

well, you should be right...
but I remember a year ago or so I had a similar problem and
the image
input solved it... but I'm not sure whether it was exactly
the
same
problem or not, so it might be complete bull*** ;)
