I am trying to send data from form to the mail using php script. My problem is that i have span which is populated by javascript, but value of this span is not being sent using post function.

QtyA = 0;
PrcA = 15;
document.getElementById("product1").innerHTML = PrcA;

<form method="POST" action="form-to-email.php" name="ofrm">

    <table border="0" cellpadding="0" width="550" id="table1">
        <tr>
            <td width="250">Product1</td>
            <td align="center" width="100">
            <input type="text" name="qtyA" size="5" tabindex="5" onchange="calculate()"/></td>
            <td align="right" width="60"><span id="product1" name="PrcA"/></span></td>
            <td align="right" width="140">
            <input type="text" name="totalA" size="12" tabindex="99" onchange="calculate()"/></td>
        </tr>
</table>

i tried to replace span with

   <input type="text" name="PrcA" id="product1" size="5" tabindex="5" onchange="calculate()"/>

but input field is not populated by the javascript

php

.....

    $qtyA = $_POST['qtyA'];
    $PrcA = $_POST['PrcA'];
    ...
    $email_body = "$qtyA $PrcA".

variable $QtyA is sent, but $PrcA is not

thanks

• javascript
• php
• html
• post

• You really shouldn't be using the <table> tag inside the form element... – Jordan Davis Commented Sep 25, 2015 at 9:29
• thanks for the note, i assume i will try to change this to clean css in the future – ivanz Commented Sep 25, 2015 at 9:44
• also, you can always call var_dump($_POST) if your doing testing. – Jordan Davis Commented Sep 25, 2015 at 9:55

Put the value in an hidden field also.

Try this:

QtyA = 0;
PrcA = 15;
document.getElementById("product1").innerHTML = PrcA;
document.getElementById("PrcA").value = PrcA;

<form method="POST" action="form-to-email.php" name="ofrm">
<input type="hidden" value="" name="PrcA" id="PrcA" />

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" width="550" id="table1">
    <tr>
        <td width="250">Product1</td>
        <td align="center" width="100">
        <input type="text" name="qtyA" size="5" tabindex="5" onchange="calculate()"/></td>
        <td align="right" width="60"><span id="product1" name="PrcA"  /></span></td>
        <td align="right" width="140">
        <input type="text" name="totalA" size="12" tabindex="99" onchange="calculate()"/></td>
    </tr>
