execute php file from php form action

Question

How can I run php file from another php file with onclick button?

My first.php file:

echo "<form action='saveResult.php' method='post' name='Post'>";
echo "<input name='Save' type='submit' value='Save Result'> </p>";

I want to run 'saveResult.php' from my first.php without redirect to 'saveResult.php' page.

Thanks,

Edit 1: I try:

echo "<form action='' method='POST' name='Post'>";
echo "<input name='Save' type='submit' value='Save Result'>";   
echo "</form>";
if(isset($_POST['Save'])){
require_once('saveResult.php'); // display error
include_once('saveResult.php'); // display error
include('saveResult.php'); // display error
}

The error is: HTTP Error 405.0 - Method Not Allowed The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP verb) is being used.

first, show your complete code, how will it work property if you dont even close the <form>-tag. And second, action= always redirect, even if its pointed to itself. If you dont want it, use jacascript with onclick-function on your button and ajax-call. — yangsunny

First remove action from your form tag

echo "<form method='post' name='Post'>";

Try this

if(isset($_POST['Save']))
{ 
   include('secondpage.php');
}

Change method "post" to "POST"

Change your from action attribute to blank("") and then include that file in first.php with PHP functions like

if(isset($_POST['Save'])){
    include_once('saveResult.php');
}

OR

if(isset($_POST['Save'])){
    require_once('saveResult.php');
}

Your answer is partial true. OP has asked "with onclick button".

please add the following code to your code

echo "<form action='' method='post' name='Post'>";
echo "<input name='Save' type='submit' value='Save Result'> </p>";
if(isset($_POST['Save'])){
    ob_start();
    include('saveResult.php');
    $output = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
    echo '>>>>' . $output . '<<<<';   // here is the output from saveResult.php
}else{
    echo "No POST";
}

Hope this will help you.. Good luck..

Is your web server configured to handle PHP files for POST verbs?

EDIT

Try to configure this in IIS through going into Handler Mappings, and editing the PHP script map to handle the POST verb

EDIT

To add Handlers visit this link please. https://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/handlers/add

Importent, check in tab 'verbs' that you have entered '*' or 'GET,HEAD,POST'

You should give comments directly to the question instead of asking as an answer.
