To convert the JavaScript variable to a PHP variable, you need to send the variable to the server, like you would either through a QUERY or a POST.
To do this, your onClickDate method would include a line like:
location = "?orderdate=' + this.form.orderdate.value + "'";
Or
this.form.action = ""
this.form.method = "POST"
this.form.submit();
Your PHP code then would execute the following:
if (isset ($_REQUEST ['orderdate'])) { orderdate = $_REQUEST ['orderdate']; }
Hope this helps

Hi all,
if (isset ($_REQUEST ['orderdate'])) { $orderdate = $_REQUEST ['orderdate']; }
|
|
Apart from missing the dollar ;-p, try not to use $_REQUEST['value'], when accessing the $_POST or $_GET vars, go directly to them, because when you use $_REQUEST you are making available more than just $_POST not to mention the overheads ie:-
$orderdate = (isset($_POST['orderdate']) ? $_POST['orderdate'] : '');
A simpler form :)
Cheers,

Agree fully with Matt here, but just to build on his comment about $_REQUEST I'll direct you to this thread [webmasterworld.com] where we discuss why not to use $_REQUEST in greater detail.

Hi there Readie,
I can't type as fast as you as I am injured, so you beat me (again :)) to that thread I was going to edit my original post :)
Cheers,
