将表单发布到其他页面然后返回

Question

My form on the-form-page.php gets POST'd on submit to handlerpage.php .

After the POST I need to redirect back to the-form-page.php .

Well that is absolutely no problem and is currently working. User fills out the form on the-form-page.php , presses 'submit', POST data is handled by handlerpage.php (some calculations and writing results to mysql database), then I successfully redirect back to the-form-page.php using window.location=

The problem is there is large data created on handlerpage.php from data submitted in the POST of the-form-page.php that needs to come back to the-form-page.php AND the original form data needs to come back to the-form-page.php also so the user sees 'Ah, there's my original data and there's the results.'

I can't use GET to programmatically return to the-form-page.php -- data too big for GET params. And I'd like to stick with window.location= as the redirection method (if possible).

How can I redirect back to the-form-page.php and display the user's original data with the results of the processing from handlerpage.php ?

NOTE: re-architecting so that the-form-page.php and handlerpage.php are combined is NOT an option.

And I'm already partway there, after processing the data on handlerpage.php I'm successfully returning now to the-form-page.php , I just need to re-populate it with the original data and the new data created on handlerpage.php .

Answer 1

How about PHP Sessions ? Here is a simple example . In your the-form-page.php check session varible's value and populate. You can set sesions variables in handlerpage.php .

Answer 2

It seems that you're trying to invent your own AJAX , only without A (and also JA and X ) in it.

I'd suggest you to submit form using AJAX, to return JSON-encoded "new data" on handlerpage.php and then to display the received content back on the-form-page.php .
