From rookie for rookie. Couldn't find anything on this subject here but I hope this is the right place (variables from outside php). How to POST variables without a form? Not! On my form I have buttons for other actions than submitting the data and which do onClick a location.replace(some.php?action=delete&record=12&whatever=something). For obvious reasons I don't like that address. For lay-out reasons I don't want a form for each action. Solution: put outside the form (nesting forms is bad) an invisible form for each action with only hidden inputs. Each button submits the appropriate form by onClick="doc.formX.submit()". Best of both worlds. No fuzzy address and only one form (and one set of buttons) on screen. KISS, as you know. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+35854 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+35854&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+35854&report=yes
