I’m working with a .html and a .php. In the default.html the user must enter some info and when the button is clicked the html does a post to the default2.php.
In default2.php the data is checked and if it’s correct it redirects the user to another page. The problem I’m having is when the data entered is wrong.
I’m having two issues here:

  1. When the data is wrong I’m redirecting the user to the default.html, because if I don’t do that, it will stay in default2.php and default2.php has nothing important for the user to see. I don’t know if this is the best way to do this.
  2. When the data entered is wrong, I want an echo message to the user in default.html. But I don’t know how to trigger this from default2.php.

How can I solve these two issues?
Thanks…

default.html:

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="default2.php">

    <label for="textfield1">User Name</label>

default2.php:

<?php
require 'connection.php';

  if (isset($_POST['button1'])) {

    $username_v = $_POST['username'];
    $password_v = $_POST['password'];

    // Then you can prepare a statement and execute it.    
    $stmt = $dbh->prepare("CALL login(?, ?)");
    $stmt->bindParam(1, $username_v, PDO::PARAM_STR); 
    $stmt->bindParam(2, $password_v, PDO::PARAM_STR); 

    // call the stored procedure
    $stmt->execute();

    if ($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM, PDO::FETCH_ORI_NEXT)) 
    {
          header("Location: main.php");
    }
    else
    {
        header("Location: default.html");
    }

  }
?>

    Just add some parameter to 

    header("Location: default.html?test=failed");

    And in html use Javascript to display something sensible when variable test is set to failed. You can find a tutorial how to get value of url parameter with javascript here.

    Hope that helps.

    Other than that you can use PHP in your default.html and perhaps even AJAX request to do validation without leaving the page and highlighting validation errors.
