All you need to do is submit the page to itself from the form tag. you will also need to make sure you give your submit button a name attribute. For example.

html Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

<form action="index.php" method="post" >
   <!-- your form inputs here -->
   <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

<form action="index.php" method="post" > <!-- your form inputs here --> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </form>

and at the top of your index.php before the header should look something like

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

<?php
   if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
      // do stuff here
   }
?>
// continue to display what was intended for the visitors first visit to the page if submit was not detected.

<?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { // do stuff here } ?> // continue to display what was intended for the visitors first visit to the page if submit was not detected.

hope that helps

This wont be a solution what he is looking... he wants index.php to submit data to process.php
n btw even if u submit the data to same page, the page gets refreshed which can be avoided only by asynchronous data transfer possible through AJAX.

Ok guys thanks for your very helpful information. Now i go and read about AJAX.
Thanks

yeah i did this with form="target_blank" and then used php header to close the processing file. its really simple.
