with the code I have I can echo:<a id='test'> and it displays what was typed, however I need to make<a id='test'> into a variable so I can use it for mysql query's etc. is this possible at all?
<script type="text/javascript">
function email(){
var input = document.getElementById('input').value;
document.getElementById('text').innerHTML = input;
}
</script>
<html>
<p><input type='text' id='input' value='' />
<input type='button' onclick='email()' value='submit'/></p>
</html>
<?php
$info="<a id='text'>"//make this a variable;
echo $info;
?>
using AJAX with jQuery will help you make a simple call to the server, without page reloading. Then you can send any variables to a PHP file that will store them in your database.
