call php funktion from form

[Carramba]

hi!

I don't have eny code to chare, this is just teoretical question.
usualy you have for looks like
<form method="POST" action="some_php_script.php">
namn: <input type="text" name="name" size="20">
<br>
city <input type="text" name="city" size="20">
<input type="submit" value="Submit"><input type="reset">
</form>

what I am wondering how it would by possible to send name to one funktion
in some_php_script.php and city to another?
I mean if I have some_php_script.php
<?
name_funktion( $name ){
code...
code..
}

city_funktion( $city ){
code...
code..
}
?>

so I want to send parameter name from form to name_funktion() and city to
city_funktion()
--

Thanx in advance

You can read form fields from the $_POST associative array this way:

<input name="foo" ... >

echo $_POST['foo'];

but does it means that I can reffer in action to some_php_script.php,
and the from it declaire $foo = $_POST['foo'] and after words call
function foo_function( $foo ) or foo_function( $_POST['foo'] )?
how would it work if functions are in different *.php scrips? if I include
them it ll work fine, but to by more precises I'am asking if there is a
way to call different function in different script pages?

I guess English is not your mother tongue :) Form fields are created using
HTML. If you don't want to display the form you can make it of hidden type:

<input type="hidden" name="foo" value="Whatever">

how would it work if functions are in different *.php scrips?
You must understand that PHP is server-side and browsers cannot execute PHP
at all. They merely load URLs and that triggers whatever PHP code you have
placed there.

if I include
them it ll work fine, but to by more precises I'am asking if there is a
way to call different function in different script pages?

Sorry, I can't figure out what you need. You can call as many functions as
you want, just type their names and end each line with a semicolon. But I
suppose you already know that :-?

suppose I have functions in diffrenst scripts, thouse funktins are used
not only in forms,
for ex I wan't to call check_email() wich is in form_check.php for e-mail
feeld in form,
then I want to imput name in database wich is dome with insert_db() in
db_handling.php
so my question: how can I call thouse funktions without including them in
some_php_script.php (<form method="POST" action="some_php_script.php">)
so I send them dicectly to those funktions in thouse script collections
I wan't to do that becouse I think it woud by quicker script execution
hoppe I make myself clear now..

Carramba,

If I understand you correctly, you want to call a function which is in a
script other than the one currently running. To do this, you must
include the second script.

For instance, in script1.php you might have (on Apache):

<?php
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/include/script2.php');
...
?>

All the functions in script2.php are now available to be called by
script1.php. The $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] is required because PHP
operates on the file system itself. It means you need to add the root
path to the web server files yourself.

Is this what you mean?

I was about to answer this. One more comment: it's a good idea to use a
special extension to distinguish this sort of files. I normally use
something like "functions.inc.php".
