Question

Answer 1

A:

a form's action determines the URL to which the form's data is sent to. if you want to send your data to another page, the action field should be a path to that php page. if you want it to go to the same page, you can add a hidden field describing what function to go to, and send it to a page that routes the form to the given function based on that field.

Answer 2

+1 A:

I believe, what you want is impossible! You can't send form data directly to a php function.

You need something like this:

<form action="receiving.php" method="post"><!-- or method="get" -->
  <!-- your form code -->
</form>

Than you need the php of the name in the action attribute:

<?php
function your_form_processing_function($_POST) { // or $_GET
  // process data
}
?>

Answer 3

+1 A:

If you want to pass form data to function in another script, you must just call that script from the form:

<form action="secondscript.php">

And find a way to call your function, like:

secondscript.php:

...
    if ( isset( $_GET['somefield'] ) ) myfunction();

    function myfunction()
    {
    // do something with form data
    }
...
