Display textbox message on the same page after form submission
Question
I have a question about displaying textbox message on the top of the page. I use this code -
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['submit']=='Submit'){
$message=$_POST['message'];
$name=$_POST["name"];
echo $name . "<br />" . $message;?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form method="POST" action="<?=$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]?>">
<br>Name:<input type="text" name="name" id="name">
<br>Message:<textarea name="message" id="message"></textarea>
<br><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
}
else {
?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form method="POST" action="<?=$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]?>">
<br>Name:<input type="text" name="name" id="name">
<br>Message:<textarea name="message" id="message"></textarea>
<br><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>

you can pass the previous message in an hidden field like this
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']) && isset($_POST['prevmsg'])){
echo "New Message :".$_POST['message'];
echo "Previous Message :".$_POST['prevmsg'];
}
if(isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['submit']=='Submit'){
$message=$_POST['message'];
$name=$_POST["name"];
echo $name . "<br />" . $message;?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form method="POST" action="<?=$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]?>">
<br>Name:<input type="text" name="name" id="name">
<br>Message:<textarea name="message" id="message"></textarea>
<input type="hidden" name="prevmsg" value="<?=$message?>"/>
<br><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
}
else {
?>

A dirty solution to keep you going...
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['submit']=='Submit'){
$message=$_POST['message'];
$name=$_POST["name"];
if( isset( $_COOKIE['previous_message'] ) ) {
$the_previous = explode(';', $_COOKIE['previous_message']);
echo $the_previous[0] . "<br />" . $the_previous[1];?>
} else {
setcookie('previous_message', $name . ';' . $message);
}
setcookie('previous_message', $name . ';' . $message);
echo $name . "<br />" . $message;?>

@Sibu, try this.
<?php
function display(){
if(isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['submit']=='Submit'){
$message=$_POST['message'];
$name=$_POST["name"];
echo $name . "<br />" . $message;?>
}
}
?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<?php display(); ?>
<form method="POST" action="<?=$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]?>">
<br>Name:<input type="text" name="name" id="name">
<br>Message:<textarea name="message" id="message"></textarea>
<br><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
move the function so that you can specify where you want the message to be displayed. hope it helps.
