Submitting html data and staying on same page
Question
I have a form page
<html>
<body>
<form action="insert.php" method="post">
App Name: <input type="text" name="fname" /><br><br>
App ID: <input type="text" name="lname" /><br><br>
<input type="submit" name="SubmitButton"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
And this is the php page:
<html>
<body>
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("xxx","xxx","xxx");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("db", $con);
$sql="INSERT INTO app (fname, lname) VALUES('$_POST[fname]','$_POST[lname]')";
if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))
{
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo "1 record added";
mysql_close($con)
?>
</body>
</html>
Now, I want it to display 1 record added on the same page as the form and not have the form send me to a new insert.php page with it. Basically, I want the submit form to stay in the same page with maybe aa new message popping up to show that it has worked.
I have already looked through some answers on stackoverflow like using
if(isset($_POST['SubmitButton']))
but it doesn't work. Maybe I placed it wrong or used it incorrectly but could someone help me figure it out?

Just make it an action to itself, and set an if $_POST['submit'] to add the records, and you can have both in the same file. If you wish to do so without refreshing the page, you'll need to use AJAX.
<html>
<body>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['SubmitButton'])) {
$con = mysql_connect("xxx","xxx","xxx");
if (!$con) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("db", $con);
$sql="INSERT INTO app (fname, lname)
VALUES
('$_POST[fname]','$_POST[lname]')";
if (!mysql_query($sql,$con)) {
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo "1 record added";
mysql_close($con)
}
?>
<form action="" method="post">
App Name: <input type="text" name="fname" /><br><br>
App ID: <input type="text" name="lname" /><br><br>
<input type="submit" name="SubmitButton"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Also, mysql_* is deprecated , so you should consider converting to PDO or MySQLi to avoid SQL injection!
