I have a webpage(page1.php) form that posts to another PHP page(page2.php) with an access login form. I am trying to auto insert 2 of the $_POST variables into the access login form. The process on page2.php is as follows:
// assign the $_POST variables.
$number = $_POST['number'];
$accessCode = $_POST['accessCode'];
// quick check of the data type of $number
printf('Number: ' . $number . ' - ' . gettype($number) . ' data type <br />');
// The access login form...
printf('<form>');
printf('Number <input name="practiceNumber" id="practiceNumber" /><br />');
printf('Access Code <input name="practiceCode" id="practiceCode" />');
printf('</form><br /><br />');
//outside the </php ?> tags, the JavaScript to auto insert the values after 3 secs...
<script type="text/javascript">
var myVar=setInterval(function () {myTimer()}, 3000);
function myTimer() {
document.getElementById("practiceNumber").value = <?php echo $number); ?>;
document.getElementById("practiceCode").value = <?php echo $accessCode; ?>;
}
</script>
</php
// quick check to see if the data type of $number has changed
printf('Number: ' . $number . ' - ' . gettype($number) . ' data type <br />');
The browser output inserts the values into the form fields, but changes the string $number '5021251000801111111' to '5021251000801111000'.
Why is the string $number '5021251000801111111' changed too '5021251000801111000' when using JavaScript to insert the value?
