RE: [PHP] variable on 2 forms

I don't know if this fixes your problem but this worked for me. Define a Javascript function: function PassRequest(what) { document.fields_frm.p_request.value=what } and then in the form you could perhaps have: <td valign="top"> <input type="hidden" name="p_request"> <input type="image" src="images/insert.jpg" width="53" border=0 alt="Insert" onClick="PassRequest('Insert')"> </td> When the user clicks on the insert button it passes 'Insert' in $p_request.

Call a javascript function on the submit button or image action. This javascript must set the hidden input in form1 with the var2 value before submiting the form to the script. the object structure for the forms in javascript is : document.forms[].elements[].value Good luck.

After submit (form1), how can I have access to var2 ? (if I must use javascript should use: document.layer.var2 or document.form2.var2 or document.layer.form2.var2 .......???).I try to read directly $var2, but without result....
