0
html code structure is as it follows a simple form
<form action="index.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div contenteditable="true" id="post"></div>
<input type="text" name="postHiddenField" id="postHidden" hidden>
<button type="submit" name="submitPost">Post</button>
</form>
beneath the form the javascript is a simple atribute
var content = document.getElementById('post').innerHTML;
document.getElementById('postHidden').value = content;
on top of the form is the form being proccessed
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submitPost'])) {
if (!empty($_POST['postHiddenField'])) {
echo $_POST['postHiddenField'];
} else {
echo "field is empty";
}
}
?>
result i get on submission is field is empty
how to proper get content's editable content and pass it to the hidden field as value?

The script you have is only executed exactly once, when the page loads. It doesn't magically extend into the future. If you wrap it in a function and set it as the form'sonsubmit, it should work.

Any JS browser code can be altered, yes. So you always have to validate all user input on the server, too. Especially when you're calling DB queries based on it.
