How to pass a value from php to html?

[shishirkotkar]

I have a html file - Home.html

I have another php file - test.php

 

I am calling test.php on click of a submit button from Home.php

 

in test.php i am processing the input from Home.php

 

I want to send the processed results back to Home.php and present it as values in dropdown list.

 

How do i do that?

There are two possible scenarios, don't know which you're interested in

First.

1. on home.php a form is being submitted to test.php

2. test.php does it's job, and saves processed data to session, then redirects to home.php

3. home.php reads data from session and uses it to echo dropdown list values

 

Second

1. home.php sends AJAX request to test.php

2. test.php does it's job and sends AJAX reply to home.php

3. home.php uses JavaScript to modify dropdown list accordingly.
