need help with a form

[oracle259]

I recently filled out a form. When i clicked on the submit button it became disabled and a message "Processing...." shown. How can i do this.

That's not a whole lot of information to go by. But I suspect Javascript or Ajax is what you're dealing with. (Asuming that no Flash was present, since that is also a possibility)

This should do it but keep in mind, this is just off the top of my head--it has NOT been tested.

[code]
if (!$_SESSION['formProcessing']){
  display the form somehow
}elseif($_SESSION['formProcessing']==1){
  //check to see if your done with what you're doing.....
  //if you ARE done with the task, set the test variable to 2.
  if ($done){ //<--this variable isn't actually set any where, when you check to see if your task is done, you will decide which way to go.
    $_SESSION['formProcessing'] = 2;
    echo "Processing";
   
    //force it to wait a litle while before reloading the page, then
    //this'll reload the current page.
    for($i;$i<15){
      for($j;$j<4000;$j++){
        echo ".";
      }
    }
   
    header("Location:  " . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
  }else{
    //if the variable is set, but not 1 then the process is done
    echo "Thank you, you will be contacted soon.";
}
[/code]
