onload function repeating

[newbiephp2020]

Hi guys i am a complete novice learning.

I want to automatically load a form page without using the submit button.

i can get the page to load no problems but the url keeps refreshing in the browser window ? here is the code i am using.

 

<h3>View Mileage.</h3>

		
		<form method="post" action="testmileage.php" name="mileage" id = "mileage">

		
		<input type="hidden" name="start-date" value="2020-04-06">

		
		<input type="hidden" name="end-date" value="2021-04-05">

		
		</form>


<script>window.onload = function(){
  document.mileage.submit();
};</script>

I'm not following what you want to do. You say you want the page to reload without clicking the submit button. That is what it is doing which makes no sense. There must be some condition, you did not explain, that will cause a reload without the submit button.

yes it is working but in my browser window the url is repeating i have screenshot video it.

What is the name of the page this form is on? Is the form submitting to itself?

here is the full page code

 

<?php

session_start();

include('../inc/config.php');

include(ROOT_PATH . 'inc/functions.php');



if (!isset($_SESSION['login'])) {

	header("Location: " . BASE_URL . "account/login.php");

	exit;

}



if (isset($_SESSION['membership_expired'])) {

	header("Location: " . BASE_URL . "account/upgradeaccount.php?expired=true");

	exit;

}



$mileage_data = yegetMileageByUserId($_SESSION['login']['id']);



include(ROOT_PATH . 'inc/header.php');

?>



<div id="wrapper">

	<?php include(ROOT_PATH . 'inc/partials/account-nav.php'); ?>



	<div id="account-info">

<script>window.onload = function(){

What's the purpose of having a form if there's no submit button?

The whole auto-submit thing doesn't make any sense.

Perhaps the OP is confusing server side (PHP) stateless operation vs client side (javascript) operation.
