echo <?p $_GET["nameoftextarea"]; ?> Not Working

Avocado · March 2, 2010

My html form:

^<body>

^<form>

^{<p>Enter a sentence:</p>}

^{<textarea rows="3" cols="20" name="nameoftextarea">}

^</textarea>

^{<input type="button" value="Send Sentence" onclick="getServerText()">}

^</form>

^{<div id="myPageElement">}

^{Sentence will show here}

^</div>

^</body>

getServerText is the function for sending the XMLHTTPRequest object.

^<head>

^{<script Language="JavaScript">}

^{function getXMLHTTPRequest() {}

^{try {}

^{req = new XMLHttpRequest();}

^{} catch(err1) {}

^{try {}

^{req = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");}

^{} catch (err2) {}

^{try {}

^{req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");}

^{} catch (err3) {}

^{req = false;}

^}

^{return req;}

^}

^{var http = getXMLHTTPRequest();}

^{function getServerText() {}

^{var myurl = 'phppage.php';}

^{myRand = parseInt(Math.random()*999999999999999);}

^{var modurl = myurl+"?rand="+myRand;}

^{http.open("GET", modurl, true);}

^{http.onreadystatechange = useHttpResponse;}

^{http.send(null);}

^}

^{function useHttpResponse() {}

^{if (http.readyState == 4) {}

^{if(http.status == 200) {}

^{var mytext = http.responseText;}

^{document.getElementById('myPageElement').innerHTML = mytext;}

^}

^{} else {}

^{document. getElementById('myPageElement').innerHTML = "";}

^}

^</script>

^</head>

The the $_GET["nameoftextarea"] on the php page doesn't display in <div> but the "Hi" does

^<html>

^<body>

^{Hi <?php echo $_GET["nameoftextarea"];?>}

^</body>

^</html>

I just started php and I don't see where the error is, thanks.

you are not sending the textarea value anywhere, just your rand variable
