probably the easyest way is to set the action attribue of the form to the URL for the response page that you want displayed. That way every input (including textareas and selects etc) will be transfered to the new page as php variables with the same names as the inputs.

You can then do any of your database updates on the response page, instead of the initial page. All the values will be available for display on the new page.
