chupacabrot Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) im having a simple html form that gets variables via 'POST' and passes them to simple.php, the simple.php file constructs a new link with the $_POST[] - and all i want to do is creating a simple iframe (this script is only for internal uses) underneath the form that will open the new link that was created within simple.php to clarify it a bit more here's form.html <form name="Students Management" action="http://myowntest.com/simple.php" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8"> <p> <label>First Name</label> <input type="text" value="" name="firstname" ></input> </p> <p> <label>Phone</label> <input type="text" value="" name="phone" ></input> </p> <p> <label>Last Name</label> <input type="text" value="" name="lastname" required="true"></input> </p> <p> <label>Company</label> <input type="text" value="" name="school" required="true"></input> </p> <p> <label>Email</label> <input type="text" value="" name="email" ></input> </p> <p> <label>Country</label> <input type="text" value="" name="age" ></input> </p> <p> <input type="submit" value="Submit" ></input> </p> </form> and here's simple.php <?php $newUrl = 'http://www.myothertestspace.com/simlpe2.php?name=' . $_POST['name'] . '&surname=' . $_POST['lastname'] . '&phone=' . $_POST['phone']; header(Location: $newUrl); ?> now, all i want is - after the user 'submits' the details on form.html , i'd like a new iframe will be shown up in the same page as the form that will show the user the contents of simple.php (which means - myothertestspace.com with the new parameters). thanks a lot!

chupacabrot Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 or should i simply just add a simple iframe that leads to http://www.myothertestspace.com/simlpe2.php and refreshes it with the parameters when i click 'submit' ?

Skewled Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) I would do it like this <?php if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { // You'd want to verify the POST data though echo "$newUrl = 'http://www.myothertestspace.com/simlpe2.php?name=' . $_POST['name'] . '&surname=' . $_POST['lastname'] . '&phone=' . $_POST['phone']"; } ?> <html> <form name="Students Management"action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8"> <p> <label>First Name</label> <input type="text" value="" name="firstname" ></input> </p> <p> <label>Phone</label> <input type="text" value="" name="phone" ></input> </p> <p> <label>Last Name</label> <input type="text" value="" name="lastname" required="true"></input> </p> <p> <label>Company</label> <input type="text" value="" name="school" required="true"></input> </p> <p> <label>Email</label> <input type="text" value="" name="email" ></input> </p> <p> <label>Country</label> <input type="text" value="" name="age" ></input> </p> <p> <input type="submit" value="Submit" ></input> </p> </form> </html> You could apply some CSS and place the output into an iframe if you wanted.

QuickOldCar Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Instead of using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] (which is bad), just leave that blank as "" and will go to the same page as the form was submitted.
