Help with Post redirect

[bethaliz]

I have a php page that needs to insert records into a database piece by piece.

 

 

We have company contacts with many branches and each branch can have many contacts. When they add a new company they need to give us the company name and address, they then select "add Branch"

 

When they select add branch the company record needs to be created in the data base, while in the SAME page an in page pop up gathers information for the branch, when they close this windo a table appears at the bottom of the page to display the branch records that go with this company.

 

Unfortunately when I enter the company record, the page is redirected. How do I get it to stay on the same page with the pages new state (ie the branch pop up being displaed)?

you will need ajax/dhtml/javascript to do this....

 

PHP is server side....you need a client side language to make these changes while staying on the same page.

use Ajax, something like this would do

 

function getFile(){ 
    var docLoad; 
    try{docLoad = new ActiveXObject('Msxml2.XMLHTTP');//IE}
    catch (e){try {docLoad = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP');}
        catch (e2){try{docLoad = new XMLHttpRequest();//MZ}
          catch (e3){docLoad = false;}}
     }
    if(docLoad !== false){
    docLoad.onreadystatechange  =function(){
         if(docLoad.readyState  ==4){
              if(docLoad.status  ==200){
                  document.getElementById('confirmdiv').innerHTML =docLoad.responseText;
		  }
              else{
                 document.getElementById('confirmdiv').innerHTML ='There was an error <strong>'+docLoad.status+'</strong>';
		  }
         }
    }; 

   docLoad.open('GET','FILE URL!!',true); 
   docLoad.send(null);
}
else{
	alert('Please either enable JavaScript or update your browser before you use this page');
}
}

As suggested you have to use AJAX.

 

I suggest you use JQUERY for AJAX .It will easy the development of yours.

 

Thanks
