Question

just a question —

How do i actually submit a form and still stay on the same page whilst the script is being executed?

I have a simple form that goes like this:

<form action="process.php" method="post" id="form">
    <label for="name">Name</label>
    <input type="text" name="name" id="name" required="required" />
    <label for="email">Email</label>
    <input type="email" name="email" id="email" required="required" />
    <label for="subject">Subject</label>
    <input type="text" name="subject" id="subject" required="required" />
    <label for="message">Message</label>
    <input type="text" name="message" id="message" required="required" />
    <input type="submit" id="button" value="Submit"/>
</form>

But everytime i submit the form it just goes to process.php. I don’t want that, i want it to stay on the same page, maybe even have a jquery popup saying “thank you” or something.

How do i actually stay on the same page whilst the script is being run?

Answer 1

1. Put your form processing logic on the same page as the form
2. Use Ajax
3. Redirect back to that page when process.php is done processing the form
