return results on one page

ok i guess theres a quick answer to this one hopefully,

i have a search field on a .php page.

i want to return the results on the same page i.e i dont want the action to point to test2.php but test.php which is were my search filed is sitting at the moment.

how do i do this? 

i got this on my first page:

<form method="post" action="test2.php">

Name: <input type="text" size="10" maxlength="40" name="name"> <br />

<input type="submit" value="Send">

</form>

and this on the second:

<?php

$name = $_POST['name'];

if ($name=="Friday")

  echo "Have a nice weekend!";

elseif ($name=="Saturday")

  echo "Tomorrow is Sunday!";

else

  echo "Please enter Friday or Saturday";

?>

thanks

include a hidden input tag inside your form

<input type="hidden" name="action" value="submitted">

<?
$action = $_POST['action'];

if ($action ==  'submitted')
{
     //your codes here...
}
?>

cheers

do i change:

<form method="post" action="test2.php">

and direct it to the same page and then have the hidden tag? does the hidden tag replace my submit tag or is it in additon to it?

could you explain the hidden tag a little please so i understand it better. ill google it also and see what i can find.

thanks

here you go

file test.php

<?php
$action = $_POST['action'];

if (isset($action) )
{
   $name = $_POST['name'];
  if ($name=="Friday")
  echo "Have a nice weekend!"; 
elseif ($name=="Saturday")
  echo "Tomorrow is Sunday!"; 
else
  echo "Please enter Friday or Saturday"; 
}

?>

<form method="post" >
Name: <input type="text" size="10" maxlength="40" name="name"> 

<input type="submit" value="Send"> 
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="submitted">
</form>

works great, thanks!
