Use textfield instead of submit button to pass data

I just want to know if there is another way to pass form from php using textfield instead of submit button, because I want to send my updated data using textfield or password so the user will just enter the textfield after typing this is how my code looks like 

if(isset($_POST['textfield']))
{
   echo "send data";
}

<input type = "text" id = "textfield">

Use javascript to send the form 

<html>
<head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
function myFunction() {
    document.getElementById("myForm").submit();
}

    </script>
<body>
    Hello World!
<form action="find.php" id="myForm">
<input type = "text" id = "textfield" onblur="myfunction()">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Execute a javascript function on textfield's onblur event and submit your form on its blur event.

<form id="form">
<input type = "text" id = "textfield" onblur="submitMe()">
</form>

<script>
function submitMe() {
$("#form").submit();
}
</script>

In your actual code, $_POST['textfield'] will always be unset.

Use,

<input type="text" id="whatever" name="textfield">

isset($_POST['submit']) is just a convention, just to check that the POST data is coming from form - not anywhere else.

So, ofcourse you can, but be aware of securrity problems.
