//how can get to pass the user inputted text box value to the other page
<? echo""; echo"add"; ?>first, encase it in php tags, very few servers support asp style tags anymore (its off by default in the php config)
2nd - use a submit button and a hidden input for the item id
echo "
";
The php to capture it would be something like
[php]if(isset($_POST[‘add’])) {
$itemid = $_POST[‘productid’];
$quantity = $_POST[‘quant’];
}[/php]But that’s assuming you’re using a form tag.
