Problem with php forms and xhtml!

PoorDoggie · 05-31-2005, 12:28 PM

In xhtml you can't use the "name" attribute, but that provides the problem that when a form is posted to a php page you can't call that field using "$_POST['field_id']" when the field is used like this: "<input id="field_id" />"

How would I call a field using its id instead of its "name"?

Thanks
Tom

The "name" attribute is valid within an input tag.
