There are two ways of doing it   Submit the form to the same page  Handle the submitted form using PHP script   This can be done by setting the form action to the current page URL   if isset   POST  submit              Enter the code you want to execute after the form has been submitted        Display Success or Failure message  if any      else          Display the Form and the Submit Button     Using AJAX Form Submission which is a little more difficult for a beginner than method  1

In order to stay on the same page on submit you can leave action empty  action     into the form tag  or leave it out altogether   For the message  create a variable   message    Success  You entered     input    and then echo the variable at the place in the page where you want the message to appear with  lt  php echo  message    gt    Like this    lt  php  message       if isset   POST  SubmitButton        check if form was submitted    input     POST  inputText      get input text    message    Success  You entered     input          gt    lt html gt   lt body gt       lt form action    method  post  gt   lt  php echo  message    gt     lt input type  text  name  inputText   gt     lt input type  submit  name  SubmitButton   gt   lt  form gt       lt  body gt   lt  html gt

You can use the   action in a form action    lt  php     if isset   POST  SubmitButton         Check if form was submitted           input     POST  inputText       Get input text          message    Success  You entered       input          gt    lt html gt       lt body gt           lt form action     method  post  gt               lt  php echo  message    gt               lt input type  text  name  inputText   gt               lt input type  submit  name  SubmitButton   gt           lt  form gt       lt  body gt   lt  html gt

You have to use code similar to this   echo   lt div id  divwithform  gt     if isset   POST  submit         if form was submitted  if you came here with form data        echo  Success     else                   if form was not submitted  if you came here without form data        echo   lt form gt       lt  form gt        echo   lt  div gt      Code with if like this is typical for many pages  however this is very simplified   Normally  you have to validate some data in first  if   check if form fields were not empty etc    Please visit www thenewboston org or phpacademy org  There are very good PHP  video tutorials  including forms
