You are echoing outside the body tag of your HTML. Put your echos there, and you should be fine.

Also, remove the onclick="alert()" from your submit. This is the cause for your first undefined message.

<?php
  $posted = false;
  if( $_POST ) {
    $posted = true;

    // Database stuff here...
    // $result = mysql_query( ... )
    $result = $_POST['name'] == "danny"; // Dummy result
  }
?>

<html>
  <head></head>
  <body>

  <?php
    if( $posted ) {
      if( $result ) 
        echo "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('submitted successfully!')</script>";
      else
        echo "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('failed!')</script>";
    }
  ?>
    <form action="" method="post">
      Name:<input type="text" id="name" name="name"/>
      <input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit"/>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

Instead of using a submit button  try using a  lt button type  button  gt Submit lt  button gt   You can then call a javascript function in the button  and after the alert popup is confirmed  you can manually submit the form with document getElementById  form   submit          so you ll need to name and id your form for that to work
