I have two files, (file1 and file2). file1 includes file2 in a PHP include statement. File1 also contains a form and prints out all $_POST variables. File2 uses a Javascript button to dynamically change the value in an input field. The problem is that $_POST is empty after submit is pressed. Why is that and how do I fix it?
File1:
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
<?php include 'file2.php'; ?>
<input type="submit" /></form>
<?php foreach ($_POST as $key => $val) { echo $key . " belongs to " . $val; } ?>
File2
<script type="text/javascript">
var button = {
counter : 0,
count : function() {
text = document.getElementById("text");
this.counter++;
text.setAttribute("value", this.counter);
}
};
</script>
<button type="button" onclick="button.count()">CLICK ME!</button>
<input id="text" type="text" value="0" />
