                <?=($disply_storage[$i]['is_active']==1)?'<img src="images/active.gif" border="0">':'<img src="images/inactive.gif" border="0">'?>
                </a></td>
                        </tr>
                <?php }?>
                </form><p>
            </body>
            </html>

are you trying to call $x from javascript? as it's not going to work as the $x is no longer available once php has parsed the page. what are you trying to achieve? — Liam Sorsby

I really don't get what you are doing here but I will take a stab at it.

First off, myfunction pretty much does nothing. I guess you want...

function myfunction(){
    return $_POST['storage_facility_id'];
}

which makes to no sense to me as you can just echo the $_POST var inline any time. However the data is only going to be there the page was posted to.
