Using a JS variable inside php code?
I'm attempting to make it so that when you click a button, it'll add new fields to the page. I know that onclick can only take JS functions so I decided to try my luck making a JS script. At first I had tried to do
<html>
<head><title>multiple line test</title><head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var texters='';
var num=0;
function newInput(nomnom)
{
texters='';
num=nomnom+1;
for (var i=0; i<nomnom; i++)
{
texters+='<p>\
Please specify a file, or a set of files:<br>\
<input type="file" size="40">\
</p>\
<p>\
Caption : <br> \
<input type="text" size="30">\
</p>';\
}
document.write(texters+'<div>\
<input type="submit" value="Send">\
</div>\
</form>\
<br>' + '<input type="button" value="new entry" onclick="newInput(num)">' . '</body></html>');
}
newInput(num);
</script>
</body>
</html>
but that didn't work. So I tried instead to add a little bit of php being that I know it better. I tried this :
<html>
<head><title>multiple line test</title><head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var texters='';
var num=0;
function newInput(nomnom)
{
document.write(<?php
tex='';
for (var i=0; i<=(nomnom); i++)
{
tex.='<p>
Please specify a file, or a set of files:<br>
<input type="file" size="40">
</p>
<p>
Caption : <br>
<input type="开发者_开发知识库text" size="30">
</p>';
}
echo tex . '<div>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</div>
</form>
<br>' . '<input type="button" value="new entry" onclick="newInput(num)">' . '</body></html>';
?>);
}
newInput(num);
</script>
</body>
</html>
But I know that won't work because I can't get the variable I'm using for the number of fields to use out of the JS and into the PHP. Is there any way I could force JS to put that number in $_POST so I can retrieve it without having to make another form? Or is there a better way to do what I'm trying to do?
You can set a hidden input field on the form, and have the Javascript populate that.
You should try using jquery http://jquery.com/ or a simialr scripting library as it will make manipulating the DOM much easier. Using jquery you can create an onClick function that will do what you want in a few lines of code:
var onClickAddInput = function()
{
$('div#your_div_id').append('<input type="text" size="30" />');
}
If you need to add more input boxes you could loop the append statement and give the individual input boxes ids that equal the loop number.
As commented PHP is for serverside, javascript for clientside. html is the ui elements which either can create. If you need something done on the server, do it in PHP, if it needs to be done on the client, do it in javascript. Here is a sample of javascript for you.
function newInput(nomnom)
{
var tex='';
for (var i=0; i<=(nomnom); i++)
{
tex+='<p>Please specify a file, or a set of files:';
tex+='<br/><input type="file" size="40"></p>';
tex+='<p>Caption :';
tex+='<br/><input type="text" size="30"></p>';
}
document.getElementById('form_id').innerHTML += tex;
}
when this function is called, it will create a number of new inputs and add them to the form with the id "form_id".
