How can get html element value in php?

In the past, whenever I needed to get the value of an html element, I would always submit a form to load a different page. Something like:

page1.php

page2.php

My question is, is it possible to get the value of 'input1' on the same page [page1.php] without requiring clicking a submit button?

With jQuery:

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Response from server: 
 
 
    $.post['test.php',{'data': "value1"}, function [data] {
        $['#response'].text[data];
    }]; 
 
 

Non-jQuery IE doesn't have the XMLHttpRequest object so here is a shim for IE:

Yes, using ajax / javascript:

var formData = new FormData[];

formData.append["input1", "value1"];

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest[];
xhr.open["POST", "page1.php"];
xhr.send[formData];

if [typeof XMLHttpRequest == "undefined"] XMLHttpRequest = function[] {
    try {
        return new ActiveXObject["Msxml2.XMLHTTP.6.0"];
    }
    catch [e] {}
    try {
        return new ActiveXObject["Msxml2.XMLHTTP.3.0"];
    }
    catch [e] {}
    try {
        return new ActiveXObject["Microsoft.XMLHTTP"];
    }
    catch [e] {}
    //Microsoft.XMLHTTP points to Msxml2.XMLHTTP and is redundant
    throw new Error["This browser does not support XMLHttpRequest."];
};

What for? Do you want to submit it to another file without needing to actually "submit" the form?

You use JavaScript for that.

document.form1.input1.value
