eits Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 OK - I am wondering if I can get text from textfield before submit is pressed? I want to add text in textfield to a database entry so I was thinking: <input name="hoursworked" type="hidden" id="hoursworked" value="<?php echo $row_custdb['hoursworked'] +hourstodecimal($_POST['hourstoday']); ?>"> but the last bit past hourstodecimal doesnt work as the form hasnt been submitted so keeps returning 0.

monkeybidz Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Your code does not show, post it in plain text so that it it not removed. I saw it earlier. Your using $_POST, but the variable has not yet posted untill the submit button has been hit.
