[SOLVED] get php variable fom html

[cleary1981]

I need to set a php variable to the same value as this line of php so I can pass it to the next page. How do I go about it?

 

<input type = "text" value = "" disabled name = "proj_id_edit" id = "proj_id_edit" onChange="setProject"></td>

 

$p_id = proj_id_edit.value

If the form method is POST:

$p_id = $_POST['proj_id_edit'];

 

If the form method is GET:

$p_id = $_GET['proj_id_edit'];

using GET or POST

 

GET:

you can pass it in the url or through a form

url: <a href="page.php?argument=value"> ..

form: <form action="page.php" method="get"><input type="hidden" name="argument" value="value" />

 

POST:

only through a form

<form method="post"><input type="hidden" name="argument" value="value" />

 

type="hidden" does not necessarily be hidden, it also can be text, password, ..
