How to transfer vbscript variable to php variable on the same page?
TrevorParnhamntl asked on
I have a .php file where I retrieve data from a mysql database, I then use html on the same page to offer options based on the query result.
This is done using a form which is posted back to the same page using php_self.
I then run some calculations using a combination of html and php and then offer the user further options again using a form and php_self. the option the user chooses is posted to a text box (Text1).
I then want to use that information to send back to my database.
The problem I have is that I don't seem to be able to retrieve the information in the text box. I can retrieve it using vbscript. I get an undefined index error. Testing with Isset shows that the variable hasn't been assigned in php
My question is how can I retrieve it using php, either directly from the user choice or from the vbscript variable?
I have included my code
