Call function from <form>

Ricki Susic

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to call a function from a html form,
where the function is included in the same file as the form.
<html>
<body>

<form method="post" action="what do I write here to acces function test()">
<input type="text" name="tekst">
<input type="submit" value="send">
</form>

<?php
function test(){
echo $tekst;
}
?>
</body>
</html>

Regards Ricki

The HTML form needs to be a part of a .php file - and so action should =
"filename.php" or do something like

<?PHP
printf("<FORM action=\"$PHP_SELF\" method=\"post\">");
?>

You can do something along the lines of

if ($tekst) {
Function_WhateverGoesHere();
}
to determine if something has been sent to the script already, or if you
should just be displaying the form.
**_ IF you have register_globals turned OFF (Like I should have by now)-
$tekst will be $HTTP_POST_VARS['tekst']
instead.

Or maybe you should use JavaScript at that point...
