submit by text link 1

[hz]

Hi all,

Does anybody know in PHP how to use a text link to submit a form? Thanks.

Well you could use a url querystring like <A href=&quot;mypage.php?myvariable=myvalue&quot;> but that's pretty much static unless you do some javascript content replacement.

This isn't PHP, actually. There's a javascript function submit() that allows you to do this. You access this method by using something akin to:
<a href='#' onClick='document.formname.submit()'>Your text</a>

And that's all there is to it.

Thanks sophisticate! I wasn't aware of that exact route. By the way, is the onClick only supported by newer browsers?

hz, you could of course then use php to process the inputted variable(s)

I believe that onClick is supported by IE 3 an above and NS 4.0x and above. I am not 100% sure, you might want to check

http://www.w3.org.

I am sure they would have the exact answer.

&amp;gt;a href=&quot;tooperate.php?param=1&quot;&quot;&amp;lt;text link&amp;gt;/a&amp;lt;<br>
When 1 is parameter (from variable) to send to tooperate.php

<a href=&quot;to_operate.php?param=1>your text</a>

<a href=&quot;to_operate.php?param=1&quot;>your text</a>

Hi all:

I asked this question when I tried to build a search engine. I want to display the search return result in several pages like normal search engine will do.

The search front page contains a form which has three input fields. when user hit the search submit button, I need the search result display in front of the search form. If matches more than say 10, there should be a link says sth like &quot;next page&quot;, user can either go to next page, or do a new search.

I still haven't found a good solution for that, even I tried all the methods.

What is the standard way of doing that anyway? Could anyone tell me?

Thanks.
