Reload page after submitting

Recommended Posts

so i have a script where i can update entries in my database. i have all the SQL worked out to where i know that hitting the submit button successfully updates the information in the database. however, the information on the form on the current page still displays the old information. if i hit F5 and refresh the page, it comes up with the new info, but i was wondering if there was a way to do it so it would automatically refresh after hitting the submit button?

here is my function... i know its got to be something with my data flow... but i am not a programmer (my boss seems to think i am though =\ )

[code]function edit_form($db, $hostname)
{
if (isset($hostname))
        {
        echo "Update Entry Form";
        $edittype = "update";
        //query db and put results in array to populate form
        $lkup = "SELECT * FROM info WHERE hostname = '$hostname'";
        $editqry = pg_query($db, $lkup);
        $editres = pg_fetch_array($editqry);
        }
else
        {
        echo "Add New Form";
        $edittype = "insert";
        }

echo"<BR>";

echo"
<BR>
<table>
        <form method=POST name=input>
                <tr><td>Hostname:</td><td>      <input type=\"text\" name=\"host\" value=\"$hostname\"></td></tr>
                <tr><td>MAC:</td><td>           <input type=\"text\" name=\"mac\" value=\"$editres[mac_address]\"></td></tr>

        </form>
</table>
";

if($edittype = "update"){
        $updtbl = "UPDATE info
           SET mac_address='$_POST[mac]', os='$_POST[os]', service_pack='$_POST[sp]', processor='$_POST[cpu]', ram='$_POST[ram]',

        }

hi, try changing
[code]
<form method=POST name=input>
[/code]
to
[code]
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="POST" name="input">
[/code]
[/quote]

nope, that gives me the following error:

[code][Thu Apr 13 09:34:16 2006] [error] PHP Parse error:  parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in /home/test/public_html/test/test4.php on line 262
[/code]

are you echoing the form inside of php? if you are try this :
[code]
echo ' ....

<form action="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'" method="POST" name="input">
[/code]

hope that helps!
