Using onChange behavior

Hi,

I am working in Dreamweaver 5.5 on a php file.

I have a variable $username = $_SESSION['MM_Username'] and another variable: $user_asking. I want to assign the value $username to $user_asking when a Select (List/Menu) is changed, using onChange Behavior. It is possible? Thank you!

Correct answer sudarshan.t

On a sidenote, I doubt this possibility. PHP is server-side, Javascript is client-side. Unless you actually submit the form to PHP for processing and get a return value, I doubt if you can use the value within an onChange behavior.

Anyway, post your code in full so we can offer more suggestions.

Hmmmmm...the script is pretty long already (almost 2000 lines) and to give you only that part is complicated. My question, simplified, is like this: what I have to write on Tag inspector-Behaviors-onChange in order (when the event appear) to assign a particular value to a variable?

I was affraid that I will need something like this. Thank you very much!


Sudarshan and geotrice are correct, but what is not clear is what you are trying to accomplish - it's not making sense to me.  The server side script has already completed execution by the time the user is interacting with the list/menu, so what's the point of changing the value of a variable at that point? What do you plan to do with that value? What is the workflow after the user interacts with the list/menu?
