<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
   value1: 
     <label>
  <input type="text" name="value1">
  </label>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>
    <label>
    value2:  
    <input type="text" name="value2">
    </label>
  </p>

 
  <p>
    <label>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="calculate">
    </label>
	</form>


<?php
$_POST[calculate] =="add"; {
$result = $_POST[value1] + $_POST[value2];
}
echo $result;
?>

<?php

}
echo $result;
?>

end quote.

Hi,
Please try to explain clearly your issue.

Do you want to generate random numbers and add them into the texts boxes, then sum?
If yes, explain when you want to the numbers be generated? When page loads or when you click on the button?

regards.

Please see this code

<?php
$randome = mt_rand();
$rand0me = mt_rand();
?>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>">
value1: 
<label>
<input type="text" name="value1" value="<?php echo $randome; ?>">
</label>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>
<label>
value2: 
<input type="text" name="value2" value="<?php echo $rand0me; ?>">
</label>
</p>


<p>
<label>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="calculate"><input type="hidden" name="form_submit" value="1">
</label>
</form>


<?php
if($_POST['form_submit'] == 1)
{
$_POST[calculate] =="add"; {
$result = $_POST[value1] + $_POST[value2];
}
echo $result;
}
?>
