I have a query: Is there a method to trigger the execution of another php file after submitting an HTML form? I am trying to avoid using header, as I do not want to navigate to the php page, rather solely execute it.
Further Explanation:
I have a file called addmatch.php, which contains a form for adding fields to a table of matches and displays the table itself. This PHP script triggers insert.php, responsible for adding data to the SQL database. After adding a field or match, I need to return (using a header in insert.php) to addmatch.php with the updated table. This process works smoothly.
However, my current dilemma lies in executing another php file post adding a field. This additional file, named json.php, handles echoing JSON objects of the SQL data, which is functional only upon manually refreshing the page after adding a field. My goal is to automate this refresh after adding a field/match on the addmatch.php without directly opening this php file. Is this achievable, and if so, how?
Thank you in advance.
