避免在提交时打开mail.php

Question

When the submit button is clicked, how do I avoid the browser opening my1.php file?

   <form action="mail/my1.php" method="POST">
            <label for="name">Name</label>
            <input type="text" name="name"><br /><br />
            <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
           </form>

Answer 1

If you dont want to use the iframe, use the header function to redirect the user ... he will be redirected to my1.php and then thrown to another page, he wont even recognize it. And if you dont use exit; after the header, the script will still be executed.

header("location: anotherpage.php");

iFrame solution is cleaner and better. I just want to offer you another possibility. Especially because the html-markup can be modified which makes your website vulnerable.

Answer 2

You have plenty of options, here there are ordered by personal preference:

1. Add a PHP redirect with header() in mail/my1.php
2. Use AJAX, jQuery makes it rather convenient
3. Use a frame or an iframe*, not my favorite

* Nothing to do with Apple.

Answer 3

you can submit your page in iframe if you don't want to go on submit page as below

   <form action="mail/my1.php" method="POST" target="my_iframe">
                <label for="name">Name</label>
                <input type="text" name="name"><br /><br />
                <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
      </form>

    <iframe id="myiframe" name="myiframe"></iframe>

The above will submit you form in iframe.

UPDATE 2:

if you don't want to submit the page and do other things like JS/Jquery submit you can simply add onsubmit="return false" in you from tag

<form action="mail/my1.php" method="POST" onsubmit="return false;">
    <label for="name">Name</label>
    <input type="text" name="name"><br /><br />
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" id="submit_form">
 </form>

UPDATE 3:

if you want to disable your button after click on submit button use this js function

document.getElementsById("submit_form").onclick = function () {
    this.disabled = true;
};

Answer 4

remove the action from the form tag. The data will not get redirected. If you still want to fetch the values on post use $_REQUEST or $_POST to get values on submit.

YOu can do it as :

if($_POST['submit'])
{
   $a=$_REQUEST['name'];
}
