I have been searching here on the forums and most of the stuff is beyond me. Anyways I can't figure out how to take this code:

Code:

<?php
$uname = $_POST['uname'];
$address = $_POST['addy'];
$error = "Please enter a valid Name and Email address!";
$success = "Thank you $uname your Email has been added to the database!";
// Test to see if there was and entry
if ($uname == $_POST['']){
echo "$error";
}
elseif ($address == $_POST['']){
echo "$error";
}
else {
// set path of database file
$db = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/../email.db";

// open database file
$handle = sqlite_open($db) or die("Could not open database");

sqlite_query($handle, "INSERT INTO list (name, address) Values ('$uname', '$address')");
sqlite_close($handle);

// On success display message!
echo "$success";
}
?>

and instead of having it display on a separate page I want it to display either message back into the template this is coming from?

Thanks Rolling Eyes

========== Edited here =================
Here is the solution I came up with.
I took the following code and included it in my index file

Code:

<?php
$uname = $_POST['uname'];
$address = $_POST['addy'];
$postback = $_POST['postback'];
$error = "Please enter a valid Name and Email address!";
$success = "Thank you $uname your Email has been added to the database!";
// Test of form extended
$flag="OK";
if(strlen($postback) < 1){
$flag="NOTOK";
}
// Test to see if there was and entry
elseif ($uname == $_POST['']){
$smarty->assign('error', $error);
}
elseif ($address == $_POST['']){
$smarty->assign('error', $error);
}
else {
// set path of database file
$db = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/../Dbfiles/email.db";

// open database file
$handle = sqlite_open($db) or die("Could not open database");

sqlite_query($handle, "INSERT INTO list (name, address) Values ('$uname', '$address')");
sqlite_close($handle);
// On success display message!
$smarty->assign('success', $success);
}
?>

I know it's primitive and I need some way to do it better and also validate the input but some of that stuff is way beyond me right now. Took me all nite to do it lol but all the answers came from smarty mostly!

Any suggestions?? I would like to know how to do this better and safer as well as right???
Thanks
