Here is my problem, I want my script to do this: -before the user reject entry(server side), system must prompt text box asking the reason why they want to reject it. and then save the reason they input to MySQL server.

Javascript Function:

function MyReason(){
    var reason = prompt("Reason");
}

PHP Snippet:

echo "<td> <a href=changeStatReject.php?id=" . $row['id'] . ">"  . "<img src='media/reject.png'>" . "</a></td>";

From Here, I want to get the value of prompt box and pass it to

changeStatReject.php

and save it in DB.

Thanks Mates.

• There're 2 options. Use ajax or submit form. – manassorn Commented Aug 19, 2014 at 5:43
• how can I use submit in this @manassorn – Oranje Commented Aug 19, 2014 at 5:48
• I'd remend you go for the jQuery-library to make Ajax easier. Take a look at this really simple and basic tutorial: [Link]ajaxtutorial/index.php/2010/03/03/… – Atanu Commented Aug 19, 2014 at 5:58

You can send value to hidden input in the form and submit it.

function MyReason(){
    var reason = prompt("Reason");
    document.getElementById("reason").value = reason;
    document.getElementById("form").submit();
}

<form id="form">
    <input type="hidden" id="reason" />
</form>

try this code:

function MyReason(){
    var reason =  prompt("Reason");
    document.getElementById('hiddenNameField').value = reason;
    document.forms(0).submit();
}
