How to POST a href link with isset
-3
Please help me, I wanted to do a post method using an anchor tag.
Here is the sample code:
<form action="essay2.php" id="quiz" name="quiz" method="post">
<ul>
<li>
<a href="essay2.php" name="submit-test">2</a>
</li>
</ul>
<input type="text" name="test1">
</form>
And the PHP code:
<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_POST['submit-test']))
$_SESSION['test1'] = $_POST['test1'];
header("Location: essay2.php"]);
?>
php session post href isset

an anchor tag<a>won't send anything with a form. So$_POST['submit-test']will never be set. Again (as Funk said): what's the usecase for this?

You can actually style a<button type="submit" name="submit-test">2</button>element to look exactly like a plain text link. See Bootstrap's link button for an example. I'd give that a try if this is purely for the UI. Otherwise, you'll need to involve some JS to have an anchor submit a form

That's because your form doesn't have anidattribute with valuequiz. It would also not include thesubmit-testparameter

consider this approach
button[name="submit-test"]
background: transparent;
border: 0 none;
color: blue;
text-decoration: underline;
font: inherit;
cursor: pointer;
<form action="essay2.php" id="quiz" name="quiz" method="post">
<ul>
<li>
<button name="submit-test" type="submit">2</button>
</li>
</ul>
<input type="text" name="test1">
</form>Results in the following sent when you click the "2"

sidenote: the header redirect after the echo won't work.

an anchor tag
<a>won't send anything with a form. So$_POST['submit-test']will never be set. Again (as Funk said): what's the usecase for this?– Jeff

You can actually style a
<button type="submit" name="submit-test">2</button>element to look exactly like a plain text link. See Bootstrap's link button for an example. I'd give that a try if this is purely for the UI. Otherwise, you'll need to involve some JS to have an anchor submit a form– Phil

That's because your form doesn't have an
idattribute with valuequiz. It would also not include thesubmit-testparameter– Phil
