A form that has the following code displays the success message on page launch in the browser logically but the form should display the success message only after it is submitted successfully.
I'm highlighting the major points in blue color. What I'm doing wrong here?
This is the php syntax:
$editFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$editFormAction .= "?" . htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
}
[B][COLOR="Blue"]$message = "Record has been updated successfully.";[/COLOR][/B]
if ((isset($_POST["MM_update"])) && ($_POST["MM_update"] == "form1")) {
$updateSQL = sprintf("UPDATE table SET name=%s, email=%s,
GetSQLValueString($_POST['name'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['email'], "text"),
mysql_select_db($database_test, $test);
$Result1 = mysql_query($updateSQL, $test) or die(mysql_error());
$updateGoTo = "test.php";
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$updateGoTo .= (strpos($updateGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
$updateGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
}
header(sprintf("Location: %s", $updateGoTo));
}
This is the html form part:
<form action="<?php echo $editFormAction; ?>" method="post" name="form1" id="form1">
<table align="center" class="test_table">
<tr valign="baseline">
<td align="right" nowrap="nowrap" class="table-title">Name:</td>
<td class="table-content"><input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo htmlentities($row_user['name'], ENT_COMPAT, 'utf-8'); ?>" size="32" /></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="baseline">
<td align="right" nowrap="nowrap" class="table-title">E-mail:</td>
<td class="table-content"><input type="text" name="email" value="<?php echo htmlentities($row_user['email'], ENT_COMPAT, 'utf-8'); ?>" size="32" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="hidden" name="MM_update" value="form1" />
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?php echo $row_gbdetails['id']; ?>" />
[B][COLOR="Blue"] <input class="submit" name="UpdateRecord" type="submit" id="UpdateRecord" value="Update Record" />[/COLOR][/B]</form>
This is how the success message is called within a div on the page:
<p> <?php
[B] [COLOR="Blue"] if (!empty($message)) [/COLOR][/B]{
echo "<div class=\"successmessage\">" . $message . "</div>";
}
?></p>
Any help shall be thankfully appreciated.
