  • 0

I am converting all the values from xml to CSV successfully in the 2nd page(Export page). But i want to display a message “data converted successfully” in the first page(seat-matrix ).

I am failing to display the message in seat-matrix.php (1st page). Please help me.

In “Seatmatrix.php” file I have the following code.

<form name="export" action="export.php">
<input type="submit" name = "export"  value="Export" title ='Exports all the above info to excel'> 
</form>

In export.php file I have alert function and included header function to redirect to seat-matrix page as show below.

<?php  
echo "
<html>
<head>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='javascript'>
function Result() {
alert (\"Data exported successfully\");
}
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body>
";

// export feature code

echo "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='javascript'>Result();</SCRIPT>\n";
header('location:Seat_matrix.php');

?>

    A simpler way would be to post the result back to the original page and have it check. You would need to change your code to something like this:

    if (isset($_GET['result']) {
    if ($_GET['result'] == "success") {
        echo "Data exported successfully.");
    }
    else {
        echo "Error exporting data.";
    }
}
<form name="export" action="export.php">
<input type="submit" name = "export"  value="Export" title ='Exports all the above info to excel'> 
</form>

    And in the other code add the result variable to the url:

    header('location:Seat_matrix.php?result=success');

    Summary:

    The first time you call Seat_matrix.php, there is no result variable and it program runs at it does now. Once the second program is executed, it calls back Seat_matrix.php and passess the variable result. The second time Seat_matrix.php is called, it checks if the result variable was passed and shows the message. You will probably have to play a little bit with the location where you want the message.

    I hope this helps. Good luck!

    Edit

    To get rid of the $_GET variable after you write the success message, you could try something like:

    if (isset($_GET['result']) {
    if ($_GET['result'] == "success") {
        echo "Data exported successfully.");
    }
    else {
        echo "Error exporting data.";
    }
    unset ($_GET);
}

    I haven’t tested the above method, but I believe it might work.
