Hi Atli or any PHP expert,

Can you tell me what the following action code does?
I got it from the post you have. I copied your example and saved it as test.html. I ran it and then it went nowhere after I pressed Login. Sorry I don't know anything about PHP. But I do need to set up password for a website and if the password matches then the user can proceed to another html. Can you help me?

action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"

Hi aayybb,

Have a read through this article This should explain what it's doing.

In short the line you have there looks like it came from part of a form tag. If so it is setting the action of the form - the forms target destination, to be the page the form is on. It's a way of making a form submit to the same page.

I hope this helps.

Hi all. I have a form, and several text and image links on it that should submit the form with different actions. I prepared a simple page with just the code that's not working. PROBLEM: The form won't submit if the link is clicked, but will submit if the SUBMIT button is clicked. I need to call a function to change the form's action according to user's input before it is submitted.

I have a form I want to submit to itself. I want to be able to type in a list of numbers and submit the form and have that list show up on the same form under the text box I typed them into and the buttons. The problem is when I post a form to itself, the Enter key will not submit the form, it only clears the contents of the text box. The only way I can submit is to click the submit button. Here is a simplified version of my code that I...

hey all, Ok, a related question to my previous one on data dumpers for postscript. In the process of putting a form together, I'm using a lot of placeholder variables that I really don't care about in the submitted action. I'd therefore like to get rid of them by doing something like:

I figured out via various help from this forum... EXAMPLE: onClick="document.forms.MYBUTTON.value='SIMPLE';document.forms.submit()" In my CGI I see "MYBUTTON" = "SIMPLE" and this works fine.... except that the element MYBUTTON must exist as a hidden field.

Hi, I'd like to use a button to save and then submit a form. I can set the onlick of the button to mahButton_click or submit, but I can't figure out how to do both. It looks like c# can't call a form's submit. I've found how to post programatically, but I need to use the form's target attribute so that the response goes into another frame, and I can't figure out how to do that programatically.
