    Default form handler script back to same page?

    Hi,

    Ive just started to experiment with a form handler script in PHP (this is my first time folks so please be gentle!) and the script is collecting the data ok.

    However, when i click on submit the browser directs to the new php location (cgi-bin) but i would like this to stay on the same page as the original form data, is this possible?

    Regards, J

    Jofan,

    If you are using the form capabilities within NOF you have the option to have a "success" page. So that when the form is submitted the browser is directed to any page you choose.

    And I believe that option is available within the Form Component as well as manually setting up a form.

    Wouldn't it be great if there was only a single browser to worry about!!!

    Yes. That's often used ini PHP files in fact. Gotfusion usually has VG tuts
    on these things; I've give his link a try rather than try to explain it
    here. Personally I find the Self() the easiest to work to.
    For overall PHP help, see w3schools and/or php.net - both excellent,
    thorough sources of information and samples.

    HTH,

    Thanks for your help guys, will work through the links soon

    Otherwise, hopefully someone could just verify the following regarding how php and html provide info to the browser.

    I have an SQL database uploaded server side.
    I would like to provide filter options to the viewer to filter out certain categories.
    To capture these, can i provide a form and then send these to the server as PHP variables.
    Then can these variables be used to decide what information is selected (filtered) from the database.

    Im not sure by doing this if just the individual browser gets the filtered results (would be the correct scenario) or everyone????

    Cant get my head round this yet..

    Regards, J
