So this means you cannot get the value of a form object and put it in var of php.

Pretty much. PHP is serverside, so you cannot set variables using client-side interactions. The only way to set the variables like you want is to create a form and use the form values. Ex:
Code: Select all
<form action="$_SERVERї'PHP_SELF']" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="var1" value="value1">
<input type="text" name="var2" value="value2">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
Code: Select all
<?php
if(isset($_POST['var1'])){$myvar1=$_POST['var1'];}
if(isset($_POST['var1'])){$myvar2=$_POST['var2'];}
?>
