Question

I want to show a message after Successful insert next to input field , im using zend validation on the form to display validation errors, but want to confirm to user that the data has been added to the db , getting a bit stuck ?

last section of code block:

 if (!$errors) {
      // insert the details in the database
      $data = array('OptionGroupName'  => $_POST['OptionGroupName']);

       $insert = $dbwa_ecommerce->insert('optiongroups', $data);

       header('Location: testzendval.php');

       // want to show message on form after insert ?

    }

You can use the FlashMessenger action helper. You basically use the helper to put a message in the session and retrieve it after redirection.
