How can is set value in html element using php?

[Aminul Islam]

sample code

<?php
$userID = html text box value like "uid".
without using GET or POST method
because that method refresh page.
 
my question is
how can i set the value of html textbox name "uid"
in the php variable $userid?
 
?>
<script>
function fun()
{ alert("<?php echo($userid) ;?>") }
</script>
<input type="text" id="uid">
<input type="button" id="ok" onclick="fun()">

PHP is executed before the content reaches the browser; it is a server-side language. If you just want to get the value of a textbox in the browser, javascript will do enable you to do that. I'll move this thread to the javascript forum so those guys can inform you how to do so.

All you have to do is change your javascript function slightly.

function fun() {
   alert(document.getElementById("uid").Value)
}
