onClick, create php variable and echo out

[Smudly]

I have a form, that when the user click Submit, I need a php variable to be echoed to the page.

This is for an upload page. So when they are waiting for the file to upload, it will say "Uploading..." until the upload is complete.

 

All I know so far is I need to create a javascript function and include it in the submit button. This is all I have so far in the submit button tag:

onClick="Transferring();"

 

Now I need to figure out the code to include in this function.

 

Any ideas?

Why does it need to be a php variable? If you really do need a php variables from the server you'll have to use ajax.

I guess it really doesn't have to. I just need the message "Uploading", to display on the page once the button is clicked.
