Re: form posting to a fake page

You could try the following but I don't know if it would work on your set up. 1. have the form go to a php page that has no output to the screen. 2. store the input info in a database or file. 3. use a header("location: index.php") to go to your website index page. 4. use php on your index.php page to pick up the data from the database and display it.
