Hi, i want to know how can i make a function in php that collects data from a webpage in a specific field or place of this web page and store it to use it again later in other place? thanks in advance for any help

thank both of you guys, it works just great with explode, let me show you what im doing, i bought a template and i want to have a travel site with an affiliate program, and i dont know too much php as you can see but im learning, you can see the template http://www.vacacionesytours.com/ please go to the left and go to the "Prepare for traveling Form", then click on the field to choose the date (date picker was not part of the template, i put it myself from jquery ui) so you can see the date you choosed, but in the backend i will send the date in 3 variables, day, month and yeat to the server and i will get an xml response and then with html and css i have to show the results , hotels, flight etc. so if you have a better idea (exept to change the form to have 3 fields for date) i?m all ears Thkans again pals christianf and sycho

thanks for your answer cristianF, the thing is that im building a travel simple webpage, and i have a date form where you select the date from a datepicker as i explain in my post, but to see the results of hotels/flights (im in an traveling affiliate program) they ask me to interrogate or to ask their server for this search in 3 diferen variables, so you would pick the date automatic from a datepicker in my web page like this: 15/05/2012,with only 1 click, but i have to send the xml request to their server like this: find me a flight to this date: $day $month $year See now why im asking to solve this? ill try what you just told me, but if with this explanation you thing there is an easier way please let me know, thanks again

hi, i have a form that get?s date from a datepicker like this 12/05/2012 in 1 variable, but i want it after get the date from the datepicker, to put date it in 3 diferent variables: $day $month $year How can i do this? code example: <form action="destiniaXMLrequest.php" method="post" name="getxmlrequest"> <label>Check In</label> <input type="date" name="CheckIn" id="checkinflight"/><br/> <label>Check Out</label><input type="date" name="CheckOut" id="checkoutflight"/><br/> <input type="submit" value="Send" /> <input type="reset" value="Clear Fields" /> </form> this is the php code: $checkin_day = $_POST['CheckIn']; $checkout_day = $_POST['CheckOut']; echo "this is the data you enter in the form:<br>"; echo $checkin_day."<br>"; echo $checkout_day."<br>"; echo("What i want to do is to put the date of the datepicker (in 1 variable) in 3 diferent variables<br>"); echo("like this:<br>"); echo ('$checkin_day'."<br>"); echo ('$checkin_month'."<br>"); echo ('$checkin_year'."<br>"); Thanks for any help guys

Thank you very much, i solve it my self, and i really still don?t know what was, but the new code in html is this: <form action="destiniaXMLrequest.php" method="post" name="getxmlrequest"> <label>Ciudad</label><input name="location_name" type="text"/><br/> <label>Idioma</label><input name="idioma" type="text" /><br/> <label>Cantidad de habitaciones</label> <select name="cantidad_habitaciones"> <option>1</option> <option>2</option> <option>3</option> <option>4</option> </select><br/> <label>Adultos</label> <select name="adultos"> <option>1</option> <option>2</option> <option>3</option> <option>4</option> </select><br/> <label>Ni?os</label> <select name="ninos"> <option>1</option> <option>2</option> <option>3</option> <option>4</option> </select><br/> <label>Dia de entrada</label> <input type="text" name="dia_de_entrada" id="chkinday"/><br/> <label>Mes de entrada</label><input type="text" name="mes_de_entrada" id="chkinmnt"/><br/> <label>A?o de entrada</label><input type="text" name="ano_de_entrada" id="chkinyr"/><br/> <label>Dia de salida</label><input type="text" name="dia_de_salida" id="chkoutday"/><br/> <label>Mes de salida</label><input type="text" name="mes_de_salida" id="chkoutmnt"/><br/> <label>A?o de salida</label><input type="text" name="ano_de_salida" id="chkoutyr"/><br/> <label>Codigo Afiliado Destinia </label> <input type="text" name="codigo_afiliado"/><br/> <label>Identificador Afiliado destinia</label> <input type="text" name="identificador_afiliado"/><br/> <input type="submit" value="Enviar" /><br/> <input type="reset" value="Borrar Todo" /> </form> if you check , i was missing a lot of "=" equals, in the "name" attribute and i don?t know what else, but this is the new php code: $location_name = $_POST['location_name']; $language_code = $_POST['idioma']; $num_rooms = $_POST['cantidad_habitaciones']; $num_adults = $_POST['adultos']; $num_children = $_POST['ninos']; $checkin_day = $_POST['dia_de_entrada']; $checkin_month = $_POST['mes_de_entrada']; $checkin_year = $_POST['ano_de_entrada']; $checkout_day = $_POST['dia_de_salida']; $checkout_month = $_POST['mes_de_salida']; $checkout_year = $_POST['ano_de_salida']; $codigo_afiliado = $_POST['codigo_afiliado']; $identificador_afiliado = $_POST['identificador_afiliado']; echo $location_name."<br>" ; echo $language_code."<br>"; echo $num_rooms."<br>"; echo $num_adults."<br>"; echo $num_children."<br>"; echo $checkin_day."<br>"; echo $checkin_month."<br>"; echo $checkin_year."<br>"; echo $checkout_day."<br>"; echo $checkout_month."<br>"; echo $checkout_year."<br>"; echo $codigo_afiliado ."<br>"; echo $identificador_afiliado."<br>"; Now it work great, now i have to send the request to the server, i still don?t have an idea of how but i will find out, thanks guys
