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.
Hope this helps,
Hugh
