Is there any way to submit a form in php without using the submit button?

 

You want to be looking into Ajax/Javascript PHP processes the form at the other end, it doesn't submit it.

 

I would opt for a premade javascript library if you go down this route. jQuery, prototype and mootools are all very well developed and will save you a bunch of time trying to implement your own ajax functionality.

 

Hi there, are you by chance just looking for a way to submit the form without using a button? If so, you could use javascript to submit it. For example, if you gave your form an id, then you could use the onclick event handler to submit the form... like so:

<form id="myform" action="whatever.php" method="post">
<!-- your form fields here -->
<input type="submit" style="display:none;" value="invisible_sumbit" />
</form>

HTML:

Then, you would add an onclick event to a link, div, or whatever you like:

<a href="javascript:void();" onclick="document.getElementById('myform').submit();">Submit Link</a>

HTML:

Hope that helps.

 

If nobody has answered your question, you should perhaps clarify specifically what action you want to trigger the submit

 

Yes you can submit form by using javascript onclick events.
