PHP form – on submit stay on same page

by

In order to stay on the same page on submit you can leave action empty (action="") into the form tag, or leave it out altogether.

For the message, create a variable ($message = "Success! You entered: ".$input;") and then echo the variable at the place in the page where you want the message to appear with <?php echo $message; ?>.

Like this:

<?php
$message = "";
if(isset($_POST['SubmitButton'])){ //check if form was submitted
  $input = $_POST['inputText']; //get input text
  $message = "Success! You entered: ".$input;
}    
?>

<html>
<body>    
<form action="" method="post">
<?php echo $message; ?>
  <input type="text" name="inputText"/>
  <input type="submit" name="SubmitButton"/>
</form>    
</body>
</html>
