form uploads

mikster

ok im obtaining an image from form upload, i can use post to send it to another php page that processes and displays it. The thing is i want to stay on the same page and have it outputted there, for the rest of the image manipulation i have used javascript to simply change the src of the image i want to manipulate but ive made the src=anotherscript.php?parameters

But on the upload form if i use the post action to send it to the javascript function that changes the image src and then in anotherscript.php i get the upload info and display the image and it doesnt work.

Do i have to go straight to another page to process the script or is there a way to send the data but stay on the same page?

if this makes no sense to no one i will try and paste some of the code i got and explain it a bit more

I kinda think I know what you're trying to say. :p

You can have a page that contains both the input forms and the processing code. Just make the form 'action' point to the current page using the $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] global.

Just takes a little code to check if the form was submitted (so you know whether to do the processing or not).

You have to go to another page if you want to process the form with PHP, but there's no reason why that other page can't be the same page, if you know what I mean.

Pseudo code:

if the form hasn't been submitted
    display the form
else
    process the form

Edit: Like Mike said.

ok i got an image on say index.php and i got a script called image.php

when i select an option i used javascript to change the source of the image.

so i make the source image.php?variable1$variable2 etc

then on image.php i get the variables from url and use them to process the image. this way image.php doesnt get refeshed, instead a javascript calls image.php when it changes the source of the image, this then processes and displays it.

so basically my processing is on another page but i dont want to to directly to that page and i dont want to refresh the page.
