Help needed in form method

[bishnu.bhatta]

Hi,

 

I am new to PHP and got a silly doubt.

 

My friend has designed a form in which there are a lot of hidden and visible fields.When I click submit, the form is posted to some URL.Now that the count of the fields used is more than 20, so I am unable to analyze whats happening.

 

Is there a way to capture all the values from the form before it is posted??? My analysis process should not hamper the usual functionality of the form.

 

Thanks in advance

what exactly are you trying to do? posting 20 inputs to a url is a touch ridiculous

Are these POST or GET values?  From what you have said I will speculate GET.

 

Either way, they are contained in arrays in which you can print out (after you submit):

 

print_r($_POST);
//and
print_r($_GET);

Maq:

 

Let me put my scenario in a simpler way....

 

My forum has a login page where users need to sign in.

So the form method says: on submit action = abc.php

 

But I want to capture all the login IDs, even the invalid attempts before the submit action.

 

I belive ,I have to do something simlar to this(I don't want this method):

1.Capture the ID using javascript before the submit action

2.pass it to say preprocess.php

3.In preprocess.php, I have to use another method to pass it to abc.php

 

 

I want to capture and save it in a table before the form passes it to abc.php

 

Hope i was able to explain the scenario properly.

In the <form> command, put onsubmit="Anal(this)"

 

and Anal() should be

 

function Anal(ID)
{
for (i=0; i<ID.elements.Legnth; i++)
{
Element = ID.elements[i]
alert(Element.name + "=" + Element.value)
}
}

 

There could be some errors in that JS, it's been a while since I've written something like that
