Sry for the question guys but you don't learn unless you dare to ask those questions .
my problem is using document.getElementById in php .
First of all i wanna ask if it could be used in php.
now i'll share what i'm trying to do :

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <form action="test2.php" method="post"> First name:<br> <input type="text" name="firstname" value="Mickey"> <br> Last name:<br> <input type="text" id="1" name="lastname" value="Mouse"> <br><br> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> <?php if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"]=="POST"){ if ($_POST["firstname"] == $_POST["lastname"]) { document.getElementById("1").value="3"; echo "hi"; }} ?> <p>If you click the "Submit" button, the form-data will be sent to a page called "/action_page.php".</p> </body> </html>

what i'm trying to do is if after submit of the form the first name and last name are the same change the lastname value to 3.
i'm having the following error :

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in C:\xampp\htdocs\test\test2.php on line 20

line 20 is the line where i used document.getElementById

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <form action="test2.php" method="post"> First name:<br> <input type="text" name="firstname" value="Mickey"> <br> Last name:<br> <input type="text" id="1" name="lastname" value="Mouse"> <br><br> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> <?php if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"]=="POST"){ if ($_POST["firstname"] == $_POST["lastname"]) { document.getElementById("1").value=="3"; echo "hi"; }} ?> <p>If you click the "Submit" button, the form-data will be sent to a page called "/action_page.php".</p> </body> </html>

.value="3"; -> .value=="3";

Couldn't understand what your post meant sorry.

You can't do "document.getElementById("1").value="3";" in php because it's html code and it runs on the client side, while php is processed on the server side.
What are you trying to accomplish?
