a self submitting form? is that like a self fulfilling prophecy?

 

Basicly you need to take the form action out, change the button to type=button, add an onclick to the button that wiill triger an AJAX script that submits the from variables to the contact page, add an echo with your message of choce to the contact page, have the AJAX call read this on success and append the message to your contss div.

 

it's that simple.

Hi trq. All I've tried is to echo out after submitting the form and before redirecting user to the same page. But it prints that thank you message on the top left corner and I did not want it to be. I wanted it to be printed exactly below the submit buttons. I've removed the echo for the code mentioned above. I wanted help about the same. But as muddy-funster says let me try Ajax code. Am a novice programmer. I've been programming jsp and Servlets but now learning php. Thanks for your helps.

it's that simple.

Trying to add in a bunch of JS and Ajax only makes the form needlessly complex. All that needs done is to set a variable after submit which then triggers the display of said message.

 

<?php

if (isset($_POST['submit'])){
   //Do all your processing

   //On Success, redirect to self with a variable to indicate success.
   header('Location: contact.php?success=1');
   exit;
}
?>

//..html
<tr>
  <th></th>
  <td><button type="submit" name="submit">&checkmark; Submit</button></td>
</tr>
<?php if (isset($_GET['success'])): ?>
<tr>
  <td colspan="2">Your message has been sent successfully!</td>
</tr>
<?php endif; ?>

Although there are numerous problems with your page, like no validation on fields, no-compatibility with Firefox etc. But I have rewritten the PHP code for you. I haven't done anything fancy but made all the fields compulsory and also a string will be echoed out to the user indication whether the form was submitted or not.  Also added the possibility to email the form details to the site administrator. You should also consider changing database username and password, database as they are exposed to the world, you can get into a lot of trouble.

 

Hope it will help you
