I have a form that will be filled in by the user, I want to have access to the content of one of the fields in that form, in order to fill in an another variable that is not part of the form. this variable is used by a routine when the form is "posted". Question - is the $_post[field name] availble before the submit button is pushed, or is there another way to get the contents of the field? thanks, Milt -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
