submiting form to same page, and jumping to another

[rodrigo21]

I have a form that submits the form values to the same page (of the form). The database is feed from the same page that have the form in it.
So the action attribute would look like this

[PHP]<form action="samepage.php"[/PHP]

Right now, after submiting, the same form opens, so the user dont know if his record was submited.

Saying this.
How can I do to: after sumniting the form, go to another page that tells "your record is submited"

thanks

You can do it in number f ways. probably the best way is to write new page that will contain your action script and echo "your record is submited" as your last command. So your form should look like this:

[PHP]<form action="notSamepage.php"[/PHP]

than your notSamepage.php should do all off database handeling before outputting the message.

[php]<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
//do what you need to do with the posted data
//if everything done
//display page to say "your data has been submitted"
}
else
{
//print the form
}[/php]
Where submit is the name of the submit button in your form.

Anyway, I solve t this way:
Using this function after the insertion to the database

[PHP] header("Location: http//notsamepage.php");[/PHP]

Heya, Rodrigo.

That's the way to do it.

In response to Zorgi's comment, you should always redirect after processing a form. If you simply output the results, then you become vulnerable to the POST-refresh problem (refreshing the browser page resubmits the form).
