[SOLVED] posting forms to the same page?

[andrew_biggart]

Right at the minute i have all my forms posting to a seperate page instead of the same page but i want them to post ot there self and i only want the php code to run if the submit button has been pressed but im having trouble.

 

This is my form.

<img alt="" src="../Layout_images/forum_add.gif" /><br />
<form method="post" action="add_topic_submit.php">
<table class="addtopic_p" style=align="center" align="center">
<tr><td class="postinfo" valign="top">

	</strong>moment? or do u just want to tell us a <strong>"This one time at.....!"</strong> story?

and the php code i am trying to use...

 

	<?php

include("config.php");

$Post_username=$_SESSION['myusername'];			
$Post_subject=$_POST['Post_subject'];
$Post_message=$_POST['Post_message'];
$Post_tags=$_POST['Post_tags'];
$Post_pp=$_SESSION['myavatar'];

   	if(isset($_POST['add_topic'])){	
$sql="INSERT INTO User_postT (Post_username, Post_pp, Post_date, Post_subject, Post_message, Post_tags)VALUES('$Post_username', '$Post_pp', NOW(), '$Post_subject', '$Post_message', '$Post_tags')";
$result=mysql_query($sql);}

else{
};


if($result){
echo "<h1 class=comment_status1>Your Post has been added successfully</h1>";
}


// close connection
mysql_close();
?>

 

This is working to an extent as when the page loads it doesnt submit any data but it still echos the your post has been submitted. I only want data and the echo to happen if the submit button has been pressed. please can someone point me in the right direction?

  	if(isset($_POST['add_topic'])){	
$Post_username=$_SESSION['myusername'];			
$Post_subject=$_POST['Post_subject'];
$Post_message=$_POST['Post_message'];
$Post_tags=$_POST['Post_tags'];
$Post_pp=$_SESSION['myavatar'];


$sql="INSERT INTO User_postT (Post_username, Post_pp, Post_date, Post_subject, Post_message, Post_tags)VALUES('$Post_username', '$Post_pp', NOW(), '$Post_subject', '$Post_message', '$Post_tags')";
$result=mysql_query($sql);


if($result){
echo "<h1 class=comment_status1>Your Post has been added successfully</h1>";
}


// close connection
mysql_close();
}
else{
};
?>
