Dose any one know if I can turn javascrit into php???

specifically this

disabled="disabled" onchange="javascript:setTimeout('__doPostBack(\'name\',\'\')', 0)" name="name">

Certain things you do in javascript can also be done with php(like, math for example), but you need to realize php is a serverside language, and javascript is a clientside language. The first few pages should help clarify the difference for you http://www.sitepoint.com/article/adv...design-primer/

Maybe if you explain what, and why, you think you need/want to do with php, we can help.

I'm making a "look up" in php,
and I want it to update when I select an option,
and not have to use a submit button.
And yes I know php is server side.

Also I don't want the javascript in the php file just a way to do the same thing.

but if you think javascript is better for what I'm making, feel free to tell me.

It seems to me what you are looking to do is something with Ajax. You can use Javascript's Ajax to send a request to a php page and receive a response without loading a separate page. I'd suggest googling Ajax tutorial or something similar or moving to the Javascript section for further help.

You're asking for a way to submit a form without the user having to press a button? This is something only a clientside language can do, because a serverside language has already finished executing by the time the web page has loaded.

Ok thanks.
