Auto fill field...


i have form collects currency value data.

what trying achieve obtain calculated value, based on above, appear in text field automatically before submit. value saved db on submit.

for instance:

<?php
$unitvalue=$post_vars['textfieldunitvalue'];
$quantity=$post_vars['textfieldquantity'];
$totalvalue=($unitvalue*$quantity);
?>
<td><input name="textfieldtotalvalue" type="text" id="textfieldtotalvalue" value=$totalvalue></td>

i assume though both , post methods activate on "sumbit"

how achieve autofill functionality?

is there simpler solution?

hi,

you´re approach correct, you´ll need enclose text field´s value in <?php ... ?> , in here "echo" variable, means:

<td><input name="textfieldtotalvalue" type="text" id="textfieldtotalvalue" value="<?php echo $totalvalue; ?>"></td>

the way it´s now, visitor able change or erase field´s contents, if don´t want happen, should better make hidden field, means...

<input type="hidden" name="textfieldtotalvalue" id="textfieldtotalvalue" value="<?php echo $totalvalue; ?>">


...and additionally "echo" result plain text
