ya i had seen such examples often. But this is an example. you can the
following
First change the form action to "self" which actually passes all of your post
data in the same page.
<form action="self" method="post"
and also u can retrieve the data by this global variable $PHP_SELF.
u can insert the data to database by checking the $PHP_SELF variable.
Hope this will help..

Subject: [php_mysql] Passing data from php page to html page. Question from a
beginner.

I am just learning php.
I have crated 2 web pages. Page test01.html accepts data in a form and
then passes it to page test02.php using this statement:
<form action="test02. php" method="post"
Page test02.php uses the data passed from test01.html to update a
database. I have all of this working.
I am confused about reading data from the database in test02 and
passing it back to be displayed in test01. Can that be done?
All the examples I have seen show a page like test02 creating a web
page on the fly using data from the database, putting it all in in a
big string like $display_block and then using:
echo $display_block;
Is this the only way to do it?
What if test01.html is a big elaborate web page and all you want to do
is display one extra name in it. You get that name from the database
you read in test02.php. Do you have to rebuild all of test01.html with
code in test02.php, or is there some way you can just pass back that
one name?
