neo926 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 So, I have a sports writing site. I have a form set up for my writers so they can submit their columns (Title, Column content, etc.). The data input is processed and submitted to my MySQL database.The problem with this is that the writers can't see what the final product is going to look like on the mainpage, to make sure they have everything formatted properly. I want to add a button next to the 'submit' button that will open up a new page that will process the data and display it on a preview page, so they know how it's going to look on the mainpage.I don't know how to do this. I already have the form set up like this: [code]<form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF ?>">[/code]So I don't know how I can redirect the form information into this new page to preview the data using a preview button instead of submitting the data to the database. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/5899-previewing-data-before-submitting-to-db/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

maexus Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 You could store the data in a session or just create a preview page with a form to submit the data after it's been previewed. Using javascript isn't really the best way because a user may disable js or the browser they are using may not support js.
