RE: [PHP] Re: problem with form values

Heh, we seem to have a bit of a problem with communicating with each other.. :) What I ment with the question is that how can I do something to the string before the form sends information to the next page? So can I somehow modify strings after pressing submit but before next page? Something like onSubmit="blah()".

No matter if I use GET or POST. How to get the right kind of a value? Niklas
