php_self new page

[Anon]

I am using a form with the method set to get and the action set to php_self I have my web page layed out with different text boxes that can be filled. I have to use php_self because I have to reload the page to fill a certain field based on http_get_vars. My question is that after i press submit how do i clear everything off the page including the text boxes and only have a message displaying a text like thank you for submitting your information.

You can check that all the variables you require of the user are set (isset($variable)). If so, display your message and hide your form. A redirect will allso work. (php manual)
header("Location: http://www.example.com/");
exit;
Redirect to a page that displays your message.

eg.
Note: headers must be sent before any other HTML(place this code at the top of the page)
<?php
if(isset($var1) && isset($var2) && ...)
{
header("Location: http://www.example.com/");
exit;
}
else
{
...
Form page
...
}
