Form Submit to lightbox

General PHP Help
#1

Hi Group.

I have an html page where a form submits to a php page. It works, but the php page loads an entire page to return just one variable. I was thinking there would be a better and neater way to return the php in the form of a lightbox or modal.

Here is my form code

[code]

[/code]

my doadd.php has the following.

$message = $_POST['message'];

It inserts this data into a database and then echos the results to the doadd.php page for the user to see.

The results are just a single line, hence the need for a simpler box.

Any help appreciated!

You could get rid of the other page altogether and use the current page if that’s the case.

[php]

<?php //example code $message = $_POST['message']; if(isset($_POST['submit']){ echo $message; } ?>

[/php]

That’s an interesting way. Can I get the result to show in a lightbox?

#4

I don’t know what that is

#5

Also called shadowboxes or modals

Try this #13

Would this be able to do more than say thank you? I need it to return a single item out of the database.

Sure, see this line
[php]

Thanks!

[/php]

Just edit the Thanks!
Your message was sent. part to be the output from your database. like you would a normal php echo statement for the data.
