So I have a form in index.php
<? requireonce("action.php"); ?>
<form action="action.php" method="post">
//stuff
</form>
I also have a function to handle that form in action.php
<?
function formHandle(){
//stuff
}
?>
How do I pass the form to formHandle()
entirely within index.php
? I don't want to call formHandle()
in action.php
because it's required in index.php
- and I don't want it to run upon page opening.
You can do so in action.php
<?php
if(isset($_POST['myform'])){
formHandle(); // call to a function
}
?>
Change your action to index.php and call formHandle
from within index.php.
<? require_once("action.php"); ?>
<form action="index.php" method="post">
//stuff
</form>
You cannot submit "to a function". Browsers don't care about server-side languages. Browsers communicate via HTTP. HTTP has no concept of "functions" or specific programming languages. You submit something to a URL, and the server handles whatever happens at that URL.
