Simple Question (I think)

[KillZoneZ]

Basically i want to check through php if a HTML element's attribute value is true, for example:

<input id="example" maxlenght="10"(...)/>

//This is me imagining how it could be

<?php
if(#example:maxlenght = 10) {
echo "Good to go";
}
?>

I'm not sure if i'm clear.

 

Thank You

So, you're testing a value from a POSTed form?

Otherwise, this is a JavaScript task.

[KillZoneZ]

Yes, when the user clicks the submit button it should tell him the lenght of the inputed text is over or below the required

[dalecosp]

If the action is onSubmit(), then it's JavaScript.

Can someone close this topic?

Is there a "delete" option on your OP?  

(I don't really know if there is, just asking :-)  )

I dont think so if there is i cant find it

This is a silly question on my part, but since the user/client can't change the attribute why would you need to check it back at the server when the POST/GET data is received? It would be the same as when it was sent out. And if the concern is strictly about the maxlength attribute, then your script s/b doing input validation per se when it receives the input to avoid exactly that kind of web interaction and not be dependent on the html value.
