Hi!
I dont know which exact train you are looking at?
Online booking is not available anyway, you are going to have to buy the ticket locally.

OK. Personally I would travel this route on a direct day train:
Zagreb 0725 - 1719 Budapest
or
Zagreb 1434 - 2114 Budapest
or amend my schedule so that I could board the night train Split - Budapest in Zagreb:
[u]https://rail.cc/en/night-train/split-budapest-b15801-g1205/133[/u]
However these options are normally not available online.
The route you are looking at can be bought from Austrian Railways ÖBB at [ux]https://rail.shop/oebb/[/ux] but you will have to buy separate tickets for Zagreb - Salzburg and Salzburg - Budapest.
EDIT: I have just seen that you would have to collect the ticket Zagreb - Salzburg from a ticket machine in Austria, so this unfortunately wont work for you either.

You have to buy the ticket locally, for instance at Zagreb central station.

If you click on the link above you see the table with train 15600/1205 Adria, this is the train I mentioned. Detailed schedule is here: [u]https://www.mavcsoport.hu/mav-start/nemzetkozi-utazas/menetrend-vonatok[/u]
Scroll down to find trains 1204/1205 Adria (főszezonban)

sry i think i mess up my things,your train will pass zagreb at midnight on 28/6 but not at midnight on 29/6,so as i leave plitivce on 28/6 afternoon,so there should be no overnight train to budapest right?

Yeah, as I wrote above you would have to adapt your schedule as the night leaves Split on Monday and Wednesday evening, meaning it stops in Zagreb on Tuesday and Thutsday early in the morning. :|
