<?php
if ($fnamecheck=="good" and $lnamecheck=="good"){echo "
<p align='center'><form action='displaysearch.php' method='post'>
<input type='hidden' name='FirstName' value='$fname'/>
<input type='hidden' name='LastName' value='$lname'/>

I think that you can do this with javascript not 100% sure about php I will try to direct you to the javascript for this though when i get to work, if you dont find your answer by then

thank you im a little scared though cause i know nothing about java and have only been learning php for a couple of months in my spare time.

Just so I am clear are you just trying to get the values to post to the next page, or are you trying to get them to to post to a database?  And if y ou are trying to get them just to post to the next page do you need them to show up in text boxes or just as plain text

i think that can be done with xmlhttprequests this with this i know you are able to interact with the server without the page refreshing.  look this up while you wait for the java answer it might be easier for you.

just to the next page at the moment if all fields pass it creates a button but i just want it if all fields pass it sends the it post to the next page.

Okay just read. Hmm try something like....

<?php
if ($fnamecheck=="good" and $lnamecheck=="good"){
echo "
<p align='center'><form action='displaysearch.php' method='post' name='form1'>
<input type='hidden' name='FirstName' value='$fname'/>
<input type='hidden' name='LastName' value='$lname'/>
<input type='submit' VALUE='search for $fname $lname'/>
</form>";

echo "<script lanugage='javascript'>document.form1.submit();</script>";
}
?>

 

should work hopefully.

I added a name attribute to the form tag and also put some javascript in for your to automatically submit the form.

Never ever call javscript "java"! completely different thing

 

No you cant't submit a form with PHP (PHP runs on the server) but with javascript.

 

The way ILYAS415 told you will work! but you probably don't want the form to be submitted right after you loaded the page, so you'll have to tell the function "submit()" WHEN you want to submit, like:

<script lanugage='javascript'>
function checkForm(){
    if(...){
        document.form1.submit();
    }
}

window.setInterval(checkForm_ress,100); //check if form has to submit again and again.
</script>

instead of

<script lanugage='javascript'>document.form1.submit();</script>

 

But your problem will be: How do you know if your user has finished his input?  (because if it is a search-form you don't know what he enters). (this is why I couldn't fill the "if clause" in my example)

1 second im gunna experiment with my js to see if i can figure out a way...

[ILYAS415]

Okay didnt manage to make the laert work in the below script but it does submit the form IF there are values in the form.

The code may actually need some editing. Dont worry js is really easy. Its just like php.

 

<script language='javascript'>
function ilyas(value, valuee){
if (empty(value) || empty(valuee)){
	alert("No values found");
}else{
	document.form1.submit();
}
}
</script>
<form name='form1'>
<input type='hidden' name='FirstName' value='<?php echo $fname ?>'/>
<input type='hidden' name='LastName' value='<?php echo $lname ?>'/>
<a onclick='ilyas(document.form1.FirstName.value, document.form1.LastName.value);'>Submit</a>
</form>

[ILYAS415]

Sorry above one doesnt seem to work...

<script language='javascript'>
function ilyas(value, valuee){
if (value == "" || valuee == ""){
	alert("No values found");
}else{
	document.form1.submit();
}
}
</script>
<form name='form1'>
<input type='text' name='FirstName' />
<input type='text' name='LastName' />
<a onclick='ilyas(document.form1.FirstName.value, document.form1.LastName.value);'>Submit</a>
</form>

 

I made the above one using text inputs. Seems to work fine. Change as appropriate.

Why not add in a box at the end that they write y or n for if the information is correct and when that is filled in it automatically is triggered

window.setInterval(checkForm_ress,100); //check if form has to submit again and again.

Yes, this is a JavaScript issue. And just to point out, Java is NOT JavaScript.

If you're going to be validating the form with PHP, then Ajax is required in order to make the requests to the server. However, you can also validate it with JavaScript too.

 

<form>
  <input type="text" name="username" id="username" onkeyup="return validate(this.value)";
</form>

 

function validate(element) {
  switch(element) {
    case 'wolphie':
      window.location = 'users/wolphie.php';
      break;
    case 'jimmy': 
      window.location = 'users/jimmy.php';
      break;
  }
  // Or..
  if(element == 'wolphie') 
    alert('Hello ' + element);
}
