how to use <form> as link?

[derrick1123]

$id = 1;
echo "<form method='POST' action='update.php'>";
echo "<input type='text' name='id' size=30><br>";
echo "<input type='submit'' type='text' value='$id'>";
echo "</form>";

 

I need to make 1 (id number) just an html link that will post to update.php...

Would something like this work?

One small change, and yes, but it will be a button

 

$id = 1;
echo "<form method='POST' action='update.php'>";
echo "<input type='submit' name='id' value='$id'>";
echo "</form>";

Is it possible to make it a link?

You could use Javascript to submit it... Here's some code I found with Google: http://javascript.internet.com/forms/submit-link.html

you have to use javascript for a link to submit. something like this:

 

$id = 1;
echo "<form method='POST' action='update.php'>";
echo "<input type='text' name='id' size=30><br>";
echo "<A href='javascript:document.forms[0].submit();'>$i</A>";
echo "</form>";

OK that works for the post...thank you.

But how would I be able to send $id  to the next page?

why do u need it as a link? and not a submit button

??

 

on the next page after submit you just ask for the id number

 

$url = @$_POST['id'];

Because it is a table...OR i guess i can change it.
