Help displaying my form results on the same page

[dthomas31uk]

Hi guys. Well am nearly there with my first PHP project, its been difficult at time but I have got the results to display the information I want. BUT. What I would like to do is to display the results from my form to be displayed on the same page. Is it possible to do this. this is the code that handles the form.

 

<form method=post name=f1 action='dd-check.php'>



<select name = 'day' class="listBox" tabindex="4" >

    <?php

    // generate day numbers

    for ($x = 1; $x <= 31; $x++) {

        echo "<option value = $x>$x</option>";

    }

    ?>

    </select>

    <select name = 'month' class="listBox" tabindex="4" >

    <?php

    // generate month names

    for ($x = 1; $x <= 12; $x++) {

        echo "<option value=$x>".date('F', mktime(0, 0, 0, $x, 1, 1)).'</option>';

    }

    ?>

    </select>

    <select name = 'year' class="listBox" tabindex="4" >

    <?php

    // generate year values

    for ($x = 2007; $x <= 2008; $x++) {

        echo "<option value=$x>$x</option>";

    }

    ?>

    </select> 

<br />

echo "<input type=submit value=Submit>";



?>



</form>

 

and this is the code that displays my results

 

<?php

$pickup=$_POST['pickup'];

$cat=$_POST['cat'];

$subcat=$_POST['subcat'];

$load=$_POST['load'];

$appointment_date = sprintf('%02d-%02d-%04d',$_POST['day'], $_POST['month'], $_POST['year']); //mm-dd-yyyy

echo "Date required $appointment_date"."<BR>";

echo "Picking up from $pickup" ."<BR>";

echo "Going to $subcat"."<BR>";









$result = mysql_query("SELECT full_price, half_price FROM eu_place WHERE city = '" . mysql_real_escape_string($subcat) . "'") or die(mysql_error());

$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);



if ($load == 'full_load') {

  $total = $row['full_price'];

  

} else {

  $total = $row['half_price'];

  

}



$rResult = mysql_query("SELECT price FROM uk_place WHERE city = '" . mysql_real_escape_string($pickup) . "'") or die(mysql_error());

while ($aRow = mysql_fetch_array($rResult, MYSQL_ASSOC))

{

    $iPrice = $aRow['price'];

    echo "£";

    echo ($iPrice) + ($total);

}

?>

 

know that its go to have something to do with the form action, but don't know where to start, have tried a couple of things but no joy

If you want to the form to submit to itself then done set an action. Or use the following

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">

[runnerjp]

yes do it like this (chnage the 2 things i have highlighted out for you

 

<?php

if (isset($_POST['name of form'])) { //here you need to enter the name of the form
   
$pickup=$_POST['pickup'];

$cat=$_POST['cat'];

$subcat=$_POST['subcat'];

$load=$_POST['load'];

$appointment_date = sprintf('%02d-%02d-%04d',$_POST['day'], $_POST['month'], $_POST['year']); //mm-dd-yyyy

echo "Date required $appointment_date"."<BR>";

echo "Picking up from $pickup" ."<BR>";

echo "Going to $subcat"."<BR>";









$result = mysql_query("SELECT full_price, half_price FROM eu_place WHERE city = '" . mysql_real_escape_string($subcat) . "'") or die(mysql_error());

$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);



if ($load == 'full_load') {

  $total = $row['full_price'];

  

} else {

  $total = $row['half_price'];

  

}



$rResult = mysql_query("SELECT price FROM uk_place WHERE city = '" . mysql_real_escape_string($pickup) . "'") or die(mysql_error());

while ($aRow = mysql_fetch_array($rResult, MYSQL_ASSOC))

{

    $iPrice = $aRow['price'];

    echo "£";

    echo ($iPrice) + ($total);

}
    }else{
        <form method=post name=f1 action='<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>'> 



<select name = 'day' class="listBox" tabindex="4" >
