can anyone explain how i get the value that is input into products_price to pass though to the &price= upon submitting
<form method="post" action="epos_action.php">
<td width="80%"><?php echo $default_currency_symbol; ?><input type="text" name="products_price" size="14" value="<?php echo(number_format(($_POST['products_price']), 2, '.', '')); ?>">
<td><a width="12%" colspan="1" align="center"><a input type="submit" method="post" value="Submit" class="button" title="<?php echo 'Pay Account'; ?>" href="#" onclick="this.blur(); window.location.href='epos_action.php?Action=PayBill&ProductID=<?php echo $dummy_product_id; ?>&Quantity=<?php echo $fakeqty;?>&PayName=<?php echo $results['orders_id']; ?>&Price=<?php echo ($_POST['products_price']); ?>'"><span><?php echo 'Make Payment'; ?></span></a></td>
(if i put another variable in the &price= it passes the value through to the epos.action.php file as expected.
You must learn about form building, then trying to proccessing data. html forms
P.S. You passed some data via GET method, some via POST. So in php you can access them with
$_GET \ $_POST
arrays.
Depending on the HTTP verb you're using, you can use $ _GET or $ _POST. On the form, you're using POST, and if you pass variables via URL you are using GET
I agree with @mcklayin, you need to first understand how forms works and your code clearly shows that you don't.
First, you can't use as an input element. Use <input type="submit"> Second, you can only use the method attribute with forms, not elements. And lastly, you need to be clear about what you want to achieve using that (mutant button+link) element. If you want to direct the user to another page upon clicking, then no need to us js. Just an ordinary link
