titan21 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Have a look at redirecting the user if teh data submitted is correct. Header("Some Location") should be able to do this for you. Have a look at http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php.

titan21 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 You'll probably be looking at a solution with AJAX which would be preferable. Or perhaps you can submit back to this page and do the checks for validity there. My advice would be to look at AJAX tho.

Pikachu2000 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Just store the message in a variable and echo it wherever you want to echo it.

Username: Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 function insertDATA($postData) { if(!ifEmailExists($postData['email'])){ $sql = " INSERT INTO tbl SET email = '".$postData['email']."', name = '".$postData['name']."', phone = '".$postData['phone']."' "; echo "data submitted successfully!";//this line withing the form $res = executeSql($sql); if($res) { echo "<img src='path/to/image.jpg'></img."; } else { die(mysql_error()); } } I don't know if that will work, since you never told us how executeSql works, and you'll have to have the link for the image in the img tag.

titan21 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Can you not test your variables and decided what you want to output (if anything) Use echo() to output any html.

darkfreaks Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 how can i put html inside a variable? //make sure there are NO space in your html or you wil lget a unexpected T_SL error $example= <<<EOF <html><body></body></html> EOF; echo $example; you will need to do IF or ELSE statements to determine what gets outputted where.

OneShot Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Not 100% sure if I am understanding what exactly you want but if I am this would work...... function insertDATA($postData) { if(!ifEmailExists($postData['email'])){ $sql = " INSERT INTO tbl SET email = '".$postData['email']."', name = '".$postData['name']."', phone = '".$postData['phone']."' "; return header(sprintf("Location: %s", 'yourpage.php?success=yes')); //echo "data submitted successfully!";//this line withing the form executeSql($sql); } When the query is sucessful the use will be redirected back to the original page with the message. // yourpage.php if(!empty($_GET['success'])){ if($_GET['success'] == 'yes'){ $Success = 'data submitted successfully'; } } //Then place this where ever you want the message to appear. if(isset($Success)){ echo $Success; } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/245273-display-a-success-message-after-form-is-submitted/#findComment-1259896 Share on other sites More sharing options...
