passing value of index number to different php file.
- by tooepic
hi, i am a php beginner and have a question for you please.
i have a text file with list of first and last names like this:
john,smith
sam,lewis
david,davidson
mike,anderson
in my sort.php file, it sorts that name list by first name in ascending order with index number, which will display like this:
1. david,davidson
2. john,smith
3. mike,anderson
4. sam,lewis
also, in that sort.php file, there's a form for input type=text where you can type index number and a button to delete that index number entered in that text field:
<form action="deletename.php" method="post">
<table>
<tr valign="top">
<td>Delete: <input type="text" size="2" name="indexnumber" />
</td>
<td>
<div align="left">
<input type="submit" name="delete" value="Delete" />
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
now the question...is there anything i can do in that form to send the value of that index number i entered in the text field? in other word...if i enter 3, what can i do to that form to send the value "mike,anderson" to deletename.php?
thanks in advance.
