PHP self submitting forms
Hi, I have been updating my site to PHP and during this process I have merged my html and PHP files, but I am having a slight problem. On my guest book for example when I go on the add page it automatically reloads to the view page (a separate file) I know this is happening because all the code is in one page and when the page loads it will run the script, but how can I get the script to run only when the user click continue? Or will I have to separate all my files again?
Here is the code I am using:
