Displaying Form results on same page

[MasterACE14]

How can I make a form like the following?:

<form method="post" action="commentpage.php">
<textarea rows="5" cols="20" wrap="physical" name="comments">
Enter Comments Here
</textarea>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>

<?php
echo "$_POST['comments'] was your comment";
?>

 

I just want to have a form that does everything on one page, instead of being sent to another page with "action="anotherpage.php""

Then put the code at the top of page:

if(isset(POST)
{
   // Handle
   // Display
}
else
{
   // Show form
}

I'm having no luck here, Basically, the form is used to search for elements or values in a 2 dimensional array. And then echo it if it has found it.

 

heres the code:

<?php // encyclopedia 

/* includes */
include '/home/ace/public_html/conflictingforces/weapons.php';
?>

<div id = "encyclopedia">
<center><b><u>Encyclopedia - Beta</u></b><br></center><br>

<fieldset><legend>Search</legend>
<?php
if(isset($_POST)) 
{
   // Handle
   // Display
   echo 'Item is '.array_search($_POST["item"],$weapons);
   

}
else
{ // Show form
?>
<form method="post" action="index.php?page=encyclopedia">
item: <input type="text" size="15" maxlength="60" name="item">
  <input type="submit" value="Search">
  </form>

<?php	 
}
?>




</fieldset>

<br>

<center>
<center>

            


            
	<?php /* Grab weapon Array and Display it */

for ($row = 0; $row < 3; $row++)
{
echo "<table class=\"fix\">";
echo "<tr><td colspan='2'>WEAPON</td></tr>";


    foreach($weapons[$row] as $key => $value)
    {

	echo "<tr>";
        echo "<td>".$key."</td>";
	echo "<td>".$value."</td>";
	echo "</tr>";

    }

}

echo "</table>";

?>


	</center>
	</center>

</div>
