That is because you sent the data as a GET.

In a Word, No. you are mixing apples and oranges. Javascript is all client-side (Yes, I knowm just ignore server-side for now, that is not what he is asking) and PHP is all server-side, not client-side at all. You use our JS to do what ever you want to do on the client machine. Then POST your name/value pairs to your server, which in turn calls your PHP to retrieve thosse name/value pairs and process them as needed. > Second solution I've thought of was writing another PHP function > inside the HTML page and doing the job as the JavaScript function. > However, I have no I idea how could the HTML page call the PHP function > when the user submitted the HTML FORM.

Yes think of this as 2 sides to the same coin. The JS will handle all client-side stuff, formatting, validation, calculations, etc and the HTML wraps it all up into name/value pairs to be sent to the server-side process to handle. Your server-side process, in this case PHP, will retrieve these name/value pairs from the server, process them as needed and return back a page that tells the user whatever you want to tell the user.
