webguync Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hi, I have a weather app, coded which creates weather based on a set zip code. I want to create a form which when the user fills out their local code and clicks the send button that will change the zip code variable. Currently it is set up like this $zip = '90210'; //change to your zipcode need help with getting started with this. Thanks!

Maq Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Sounds like you know what to do. Just assign $zip to the POST value after submission. Maybe I'm misunderstanding.

webguync Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 so it would just be this? <form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF;?>"> Enter Zip Code:<input type="text" size="12" maxlength="12" name="zip"><br /> </form> and then I would change $zip='90210'; to $zip= $_POST["zip"] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/222850-help-with-changing-variable-via-form/#findComment-1152351 Share on other sites More sharing options...
