coding problems in PHP

bulletz · Dec 9, 2003

good day!

i have a problem guys, how will i attach a string of data(gathered from a form) at the the end of an http request?

see below for clearer scenario:

html form has these variables:

- bmonth
- bday
- byear

when submitted call a PHP file using form's action="sample.php";

then string together those variables in mm/dd/yyyy format in PHP

$bdate = $bmonth . "/" . $ bday . "/" . $byear;

now, how will i submit this variable including this url "

http://www.domainname.com/file.jsp?xmldate="

to a remote server?

http://www.domainname.com/file.jsp?xmldate=<$bdate>

thanks in advanced

http://www.domainname.com/file.jsp?xmldate='.$bdate.'

That will carry the string to file.jsp as the variable $xmldate.

If that's not what you wanted to know, then I don't know what you're after. But I think that's what you were after.

Code:

[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.domainname.com/file.jsp?xmldate='.$bdate.'[/URL]

That will carry the string to file.jsp as the variable $xmldate.

If that's not what you wanted to know, then I don't know what you're after. But I think that's what you were after.

In your form tag add onsubmit="send_date(this);" like this:

Code:

<form onsubmit=&quot;send_date(this);&quot; name=&quot;frmMain&quot;>
    <input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;month&quot;>
    <input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;day&quot;>
    <input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;year&quot;>
<form>

Then in the <head> section of your page add this:

Code:

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
    function send_date(thisForm)
    {
        document.location = &quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.domainname.com/file.jsp?xmldate=&quot;[/URL] + thisForm.month.value + &quot;/&quot; + thisForm.day.value + &quot;/&quot; + thisForm.year.value;
    }
</script>

That should do what you want. It would be cleaner if your JSP file would parse the form directly, instead of requiring you to accept the date through the URL, of course.

Take Care,
