Save data in variable php

Question

I have a form input data called input.php, and the data will be process in process.php,
how can I get data after the process?

source code for form input.php

<form action="process.php" method="POST" >
    <select id="selectbasic" name="time" class="input100">
    <option value="not" selected>-choose-< /option>
    <option value="m">Minut< /option>
    <option value="s">Second< /option>
    </select>
    <input type="text" name="field" id="time" />
    <button type="submit">Time </button>
</form>

source code for process.php

<?php if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
     $nmr = $_POST['field'];
     $time = $_POST['time'];
     if($time =='m'){
          $nmr = $nmr*60*1000;
     }else if($time =='s'){
          $nmr = $nmr*1000;
     } echo("<script LANGUAGE='JavaScript'> window.alert('Auto refresh was 
reset!');  window.history.go(-1);</script>");
}
}?>

source code for form get_data.php

<?php include ("process.php"); ?>
<?php echo $nmr; ?>

the value from variable __$nmr__ is empty.
please help me,thanks.

Answer 1

From your code I think your problem is the form action is pointing to wrong file

it should be

<form action="get_data.php" method="POST" >
    <select id="selectbasic" name="time" class="input100">
    <option value="not" selected>-choose-< /option>
    <option value="m">Minut< /option>
    <option value="s">Second< /option>
    </select>
    <input type="text" name="field" id="time" />
    <button type="submit">Time </button>
</form>

Keep in mind this code assume that get_data.php is in same folder as input.php

You can submit the form to itself and just use the method POST to get the value.

$var =$_POST["time"];

echo $var;
