Submit data and refresh the page

Recommended Posts

HI

 

I have a page on my website called clientinfo.php.

This page echos data from the database about a particular client so the url shows;

 

clientinfo.php?username=john

 

at the bottom of the page is a form that submits some information in to the database

This information is echoed to the same page as it was submitted from;

clientinfo.php?username=john

 

But when the user clicks submit to send the new data the url changes to

 

clientinfo.php

 

So the url in the client page containing johns information changes.

 

The user who submitted the info has to click the back button to return to the client page;

clientinfo.php?username=john

 

And click refresh to see the new data added to the page

 

How can I make it so when the user clicks the submit button the page remains at;

clientinfo.php?username=john

 

And the data on the page refreshes itself.

 

I think this might be really hard to do so asking for any help.

 

Thanks

Sorry, here it is

<?php
$submit = $_POST['submit'];

//Form data
$action = addslashes(strip_tags($_POST['action']));
$username = addslashes(strip_tags($_POST['username']));
$client = addslashes(strip_tags($_POST['client']));
$date = date("Y-m-d");

if ($submit){

//Check for existing fields
if ($action && $username){
        
	//Register the user
	$queryreg = mysql_query("INSERT INTO " . TBL_ACTION . " 
  (`action`, `username`, `teammember`, `date`) 
  VALUES ('$action', '$client', '$username', '$date')");
	echo("<td><font size=\"2\" color=\"#0066FF\">The action has been udated! </font><td>");
}else{
	echo "<td><font size=\"2\" color=\"#ff0000\">Please complete <b>ALL</b> fields</font><td>";
	 }

}
?>
<?php

if($form->num_errors > 0){
   echo "<font size=\"2\" color=\"#ff0000\">".$form->num_errors." error(s) found</font>";
}
?>

<form action="clientinfo.php" method="POST">
    	<p class="textinput">Action taken: </p><p><textarea name="action" cols="50" rows="5" value="<?php echo $form->value("action"); ?>"></textarea><?php echo $form->error("action"); ?></p>
        <p><input type="hidden" name="client" maxlength="30" readonly value="<?php echo $_GET['username']; ?>"><?php echo $form->error("user"); ?></p>
        <p><input type="hidden" name="username" maxlength="30" readonly value="<?php echo $_SESSION['username']; ?>"><?php echo $form->error("user"); ?></p>
        <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</div>

 

The URL currently reads

clientinfo.php?username=john

 

Can the <form action="clientinfo.php" method="POST">

 

Be something like

 

<form action="clientinfo.php?username=current url username" method="POST">

 

Because I could be reading one of many different clients information so the url could contain a different users name if im viewing someting else
