How to transfer vbscript variable to php variable on the same page?
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

First, you cannot have a form within a form. Remove the outer <FORM NAME="ValidForm"> tag. Second, are you submitting your form? You will only see the PHP echo after the form is submitted.
Hello, I have removed the outer form tags, but still get the same error. Yes, I am submitting the form and the variable isn't echo'd
Ah, sorry. I now understand. This still doesn't solve the problem. I still get the same error. I can't understand why PHP seems unable to reade the $_POST array.
Do you know of anyway of PHP being able to read the vbscript varaible?

{
t =t +document.form1.Prices[i].value
}
}
if (t=="")
{
document.getElementById("Text1").value=""
}
else
{
document.getElementById("Text1").value=t
}
}
-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post" name="form1">
<INPUT NAME="Text1" TYPE="TEXT" id="Text1" SIZE="20">
Select Service Required:
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="Prices" VALUE="Fully Trackable Courier" onClick="newval()"> Fully Trackable Courier

This almost works. If I just make this into a standalone form it works, but because this is part of a larger web page it opens a new instance of the form in a new window and still doesn't display the variable.
I did try this myself some time ago.

This code illustrates the design pattern for getting information from radio buttons into your PHP script. I am not sure what your intent was about the VB script, but I guess if you want that, you could echo the PHP variable into the browser output stream in the middle of the VB script, much as we do here on line 9 of the code example. If any of this is still not clear to you, please post back with a specific question and I will try to help.
Best regards, ~Ray

Ray,
My apologies for not getting back to you sooner.
Your solution pretty well does what I want it to do. I found I could do without the vbscript .
I'm going to accept your solution but then I need to ask another question, which is how to pass variables from php/html to a windows form in VB.Net?
Thanks for your help
