Barand Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 If the page your form's action attribute is blank, or the action is omitted, then it will post to itself by default Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuzzy Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Thanks worked really well for me best straight forward but when it only allows one line of comment how do I make the comment stay part of the page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuzzy Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Like these posts here do they get loaded into a database so that everytime a user opens a page like this one, they see them. Edited June 8, 2014 by Nuzzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Yes. For the following example to work you would need a database schema called "test" containing a table "person" CREATE TABLE `person` ( `id` int(3) unsigned zerofill NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `name` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 then a simple example would be <?php // connect to database server $db = new mysqli(HOST,USERNAME,PASSWORD,'test'); // use your credentials error_reporting(-1); $message = ''; if (isset($_POST['name']) && !empty($_POST['name'])) { // sanitize the input $name = $db->real_escape_string($_POST['name']); // insert into the database $sql = "INSERT INTO person (name) VALUES ('$name')"; $db->query($sql); } // list current names from database $sql = "SELECT name FROM person"; $res = $db->query($sql); // are there currently any names? if ($res->num_rows > 0) { $message = '<h3>Current Names</h3>'; while ($row = $res->fetch_assoc()) { $message .= $row['name'] . '<br>'; } } $message .= "<br>Please enter another name and click \"Submit\" "; ?> <html> <head> <title>Example 2</title> </head> <body> <?php echo $message; ?> <hr/> <form method="post" action=""> Name <input type='text' name='name' placeholder="Enter your name"> <br/> <br/> <input type="submit" name="btnSubmit" value="Submit"> </form> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
