How To Pass Parameter To Php Function And Call In Html

I have this function in php; a separate file, function dbRowInsert($table_name, $form_data). I included it in my php file in which registration happens. My problem is how do I cal

Solution 1:

PHP is not written like JavaScript; a POST request must be sent to a PHP page for processing (unless you're using AJAX), like so

<formmethod="POST"action="process.php">
....
</form>

In process.php, you have to extract out the fields you want to send to the function.

$username = $_POST['username'];
doSomethingWIthUserName($username);

Or in you case, since you are sending the entire array:

dbRowInsert("tblHelpers", $_POST);

Here's a detailed tutorial on handling POST requests.

Solution 2:

Put all that in the same file where register form is after including function php file

<?php//include file code startfunctiondbRowInsert($tblperson, $form_data){
    echo"<pre>".print_r($form_data,true)."</pre>";
}
//include file code endif(isset($_POST['submit'])){
    $form_data = array();
    $form_data['username'] = $_POST['username'];
    $form_data['password'] = $_POST['password'];
    $tblperson = "person";
    //do the action
    dbRowInsert($tblperson, $form_data);
}
