RE: [PHP-DB] Submitting form from a href
Couldn't you achieve the same effect without javascript by simply using GET
values instead of post? As in each hyperlink would say something like a
href=search.php?letter=aA/a a href=search.php?letter=bB/a,
although perhaps you're trying to intentionally avoid using GET as to not
clutter up their browser history.

Skip,
Just so you know, there is a general PHP user's list available for just such
a request. It's rather high-traffic, so be warned.
Now then, on to the problem. I believe I've figured out a way to make this
happen. I've only tested it on IE 6 and Firefox 1.5.0.4, so your browser
compatibility may vary. I'll just post the scripts I used to test it here
and you can take what you need and run with it.
Here is the script that my form is built in:
--
html
head
script language=Javascript
function submitForm (letter)
{
document.search.letter.value = letter;//
Here's where we're
setting the form value 'letter' to the letter the user clicked on.
document.search.submit(); // Then, submit
the form.
}
/script
/head
body
form name=search method=POST
action=testingLinkSubmit.php
input type=hidden name=letter value= !--
If this isn't here, the Javascript letter.value code won't work, since
form.letter doesn't exist. --
input type=checkbox name=checky/ Search all
campuses
br
?
for ($i = 65; $i = 90; $i++)
{
$letter = chr($i);
print a
href=\javascript:submitForm('$letter')\$letter/a ;
}
?
/form
/body
/html
-
The receiving end of the form looks much as you might expect, it just parses
the form values:
--
html
body
?
if (isset($_POST[checky]))
{
print Checkbox value is: Truebr\n;
}
else
{
print Checkbox value is: Falsebr\n; }
print Letter: . $_POST[letter];
?
/body
/html
And there you go! Let me know if you have any problems.

I need submit a form when a hyper link is pressed, and have been

Here's the scenario:
I have the alphabet in hyper links with a check box below:
form...
A B C D E F G H I J K.
[] check for all campuses
/form
What needs to happen is that when they click a
letter, which is a a href=... now, it submits
the check box value as well, to be read through
$_POST on the receiving end.
And of course I need to know what letter was
click, this I was trying to get through a

Any tips would be monstrously appreciated.

Re: [PHP-DB] Submitting form from a href
The problem with GET is that a user that looks at the source code of the
html can easily just input what they want for the argument. Can you say SQL
injection?

RE: [PHP-DB] Submitting form from a href
I don't think so, because the OP needs other form fields submitted as well.

Re: [PHP-DB] Submitting form from a href
If you use a GET and submit through the link you
don't carry the check box through with the POST.
Here is the code that I used after help from the list:
First, the JS function
script language='javascript'
function submitForm(letter)
{
document.search.letter.value=letter;//
put the letter in the post value
document.search.submit(); //
submit the form
}
/script
// the check box
td class='fieldprompt'All Campusesbrinput
type='checkbox' name='all_campuses' !!checked!!/td
... and the links that call the JS function:
form name='search'
action='modules.php?mod=listreq=listbooks'
method='post'
a href=javascript:submitForm('A')A/a
...etc, etc...
And finally the PHP code that picks up the value
for the letter selected.
$letter=$_POST['letter'];
$all_campuses=$_POST['all_campuses'];
This solution was very straightforward and a snap
to put in place. Gobs of thanks to the guys who
sent through suggestions.
I'm sure this is code that I'll be using again.

Re: [PHP-DB] Submitting form from a href
A little javascript would do it.. like so:
a href=Javascript: getElementById('letterpressed').value = 'A';
getElementById('thisform').submit; void 0;A/a
!-- Repeat for each letter --
form action=target.php id=thisform
input type=hidden id=letterpressed name=letterpressed value=
input type=checkbox name=campuses Check for all campuses
/form
Then you have a $_POST that contains both.
