help_lucky Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I want to download the records of the output of search criteria to excel. As the fields for search criteria are more than 20. I am submitting the form with POST method rather than GET. On click of "Download2excel", the hidden variable name1 is set to Yes. so i will check the condition in my code. Once the download is successful, I want to reset the variable. Here is a sample structure of my code. <html> <head> <?php if(trim($_POST['name1']) == 'yes') { header("Content-type: application/vnd-ms-excel"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename.xls"); }else { ?> </head> <body onload="tempFn()"> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function tempFn(){ global_search.name1.value = ""; } function gs_download2xl_c() { document.getElementById('name1').value="yes"; document.global_search.submit(); } </script> <form name="global_search" id="global_search" action="test_1.php" method="POST"> <input type="text" id="name1" name="name1" /> <a class="underline" style="cursor: pointer" onclick="gs_download2xl_c();"> Download2excel </a> </form> <?php } ?> </body> </html> As i am not executing the form after posting the form, i am not able to access the variable name1 is in it. I want to reset the variable name1. I want to trigger the download, after submitting the form. As the records that are downloaded to excel should obey input search criteria. Please suggest me a better procedure. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/223272-reset-hidden-variable-after-posting-the-form/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
