  1. POechoing in a form after submission
    text
    copied!<p>I have a form that send information to a mysql db. Error messages and a confirmation appear to the right of the form in a seperate div so the form action needs to send the user to the same page. I am echoing the field the user types in in case they need to edit something based on the error message that appears. However, if the form is submitted correct, how could i make it so the php does not echo in the form?</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $submit = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'submit'); //form data $fullname = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'fullname'); $email = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'email'); $business = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'business'); $date = date("Y-m-d"); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>then after other html code....</p> <pre><code> &lt;div class="wrap"&gt; &lt;div id="reg"&gt; &lt;form action='register.php' method='POST'&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; Your full name: &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;input type='text' name='fullname' value='&lt;?php echo $fullname;?&gt;'&gt; } &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; Your email: &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;input type='text' name='email' value='&lt;?php echo $email;?&gt;'&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; Your business: &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;input type='text' name='business' value='&lt;?php echo $business;?&gt;'&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/br&gt; &lt;input type='submit' name='submit' value='Register'&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/br&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;?php if ($submit) { //open database $connect=mysql_connect("localhost","root","Ryweb1994"); mysql_select_db("phapsy"); //check for existence if($fullname&amp;&amp;$business&amp;&amp;$business) { $queryreg = mysql_query("INSERT INTO users VALUES ('','$fullname','$email','$business','$date')"); echo ("&lt;div id='message'&gt;&lt;p&gt;You have been registered! We will send you an email with login information. Thank you for your interest in Phapsy!&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"); } else echo "Please fill in &lt;b&gt;all&lt;/b&gt; fields!"; } ?&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre>
