让PHP从提示框中获取价值

Question

I am really new to PHP and I basically want php to get the data from a prompt box. Can someone help me with it? Right now I just have the javascript code:

var name;
var person = prompt ("May I ask your name?");
if (person!=null && person!="") {
    name = person;
} else {
    name = "Anonymous";
}

The variable 'name' is what I am trying to get in PHP

Thanks!

Answer 1

You need to post the name to the php page. Javascript is run in the browser and PHP is run on the server.

A simple way would be to take the value set it as a value in a hidden form and call the submit event on the form. Since you said that you are new to php and javascript. Otherwise you would send the data via AJAX.

In PHP ..

<form method="post" name="formname">
    <input name="inputname" type="text" />
</form>

to get the var

$name = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['inputname']);
