Hi Markus,

Below is the form markup, followed by the PHP code file which is called on submission of the form.

Code:

<html>
<head>

<title>[url]www.jettoner.com[/url] - Admin Panel</title>
<link href="../style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<script type="text/javascript">


function check()
{
   

         var ok=1;
		if(isEmpty( document.myform.Category_Name.value ))
		{
			alert("Please enter Category Name");
			document.myform.Category_Name.value = "";
			document.myform.Category_Name.focus();
				
				ok=0;
			return false;
		}

		
	    if(ok==1)
		{

	     document.myform.submit();	
		}


}

function isEmpty( str ){ 
    var strRE = /^[\s ]*$/gi; 
    return strRE.test( str ); 
} 


</script>

</head>

<body >

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="1" width="920" align="center" >
<tr><td  height="40" class="mainheading">
<?php getGIHeader(); ?>

</td></tr>
<tr><td>
<table width="99%" border="0">
<tr><td width="10%" valign="top">

<? getGILeftPane(); ?>

</td>
<td width="50%" align="center" valign="top">

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="95%" align="center" >
<tr><td class="mainheading">
Add Category
<br><br>
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
<!-- Data entry form starts here -->
<form action='AddCategory1.php' method='post' name="myform" enctype="multipart/form-data"> 
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="55%" align="left" >
<tr><td colspan="2" class="messageHeading" height="30" align="center"> <?php echo $errorMessage;  ?></td></tr>
<tr><td align="center" height="30">Category:</td><td><input type="text" name="Category_Name" value="<?php echo $row['Category_Name']; ?>"></td></tr>
<tr><td align="center" height="30">Image:</td><td><input type="file" name="file1" ></td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td><br><input type="Button" name="Submit" value="Submit" onClick=check()></td></tr>
</table>
<!-- Data entry form ends here -->
</form>
</td></tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>

</body>

</html>

PHP page that executes the code on submission of the form:

Code:

<?php

require_once('../includes/Common.php');
require_once('../includes/DbConnector.php');

// Create an instance of DbConnector
    $connector = new DbConnector();



// check whether category name exists, if yes redirect to the Add Category page
$selStatement ="select * from Category where Category_Name='".$_POST["Category_Name"]."'";

	if (!($result = $connector->query($selStatement)))
	{
       $_SESSION["Message"] = "Error occured while processing the request!";
	   header("location:/salesdemo/management/Message.php");
	   exit;
	}

	$RowCount = $connector->fetchNoOfRows($result);


If($RowCount == 1)
{
		//echo "inside RowCount = $RowCount";
	//exit;

	//  set up a $lastformVars array to store the previously entered data
	$lastformVars = array();
	$lastformVars["Category_Name"] = $_POST['Category_Name'];
	

	// Save the array as a sesssion variable
	$_SESSION["lastformVars"] = $lastformVars;

	// Store the $errors array as a session variable
	$_SESSION["errors"] = $errors;

       $_SESSION["Message"] = "Category Name already exists!";
            header("location:AddCategory.php");
			exit;

}
else
{
$uploaddir = "../CategoryImages"; 
// The Upload Part
if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES['file1']['tmp_name']))
{
//move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file1']['tmp_name'],$uploaddir.'/'.$_FILES['file']['name']);
//$Cat_Image = $_FILES['file1']['name'];
//print "Your file has been uploaded successfully! Yay!";
//exit;

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file1']['tmp_name'], $uploaddir.'/'.$_FILES['file1']['name'])) {
   // echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['file1']['name']). 
    " has been uploaded";
	$Cat_Image = $_FILES['file1']['name'];
	
} else{
    //echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
	//echo $uploaddir.'\\'.$_FILES['file']['name'];
	$Cat_Image = "";
	
}



} else {
//print "Incorrect file extension!";
$Cat_Image = "";
}

// Create insert statement
$statement ="insert into Category(Category_Name,Category_Image) values('".trim($_POST["Category_Name"])."','".$Cat_Image."') ";  
              	// Save the form data into the database 
				//echo $statement;
				//exit;
         if ($result = $connector->query($statement)){

             // It worked, give confirmation
			
            $_SESSION["Message"] = "Successfully added Category !";
			//echo $_SESSION["Message"];
            header('location:AddCategory.php');
			exit;

        }else{

           // It hasn't worked so stop. Better error handling code would be good here!
            $_SESSION["Message"] = "Error occured while adding Category !";
            header("location:AddCategory.php");
			exit;

        }


}


?>

Enable output buffering for this script (will degrade performance) or replace header() redirect with a JS redirect.

Look up the php docs on header() for more info.

Cannot enable output buffering because the php script is used only to add record to the mysql db and then redirect user again to the AddCategory.php page, Even if error occurs in AddCategory1.ph p script the user is redirected to the AddCategory.php page using header().
