I want my form to be submitted, after submitting that values it should redirect to the form and display the values.

What I have tried:

<?php include ( "./inc/connect.inc.php" );?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Add Content</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php include ( "./inc/header.inc.php" );?>
<div id="mainContainer">
<form method="post" name="contentUpload" action="insertContent.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<table>
<tr id="small">
<td>Category</td>
<td>
<select name="contentCategory">
<<option value="1">World</option>
<option value="2">Health/Env/Scn</option>
<option value="3">Travel</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr id="small">
<td>Title</td>
<td><input type="text" name="contentTitle" size="80"></td>
</tr>
<tr id="small">
<td>Writer</td>
<td><input type="text" name="writer" size="80"></td>
</tr>
<tr id="small">
<td>Upload Picture</td>
<td><input type="file" name="fileToUpload" id="fileToUpload"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td id="small">Display Mode</td>
<td required>
<input type="radio" name="status" value="Online" /> Online
<input type="radio" name="status" value="Offline" /> Offline
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td id="small">Final Submission</td>
<td>
<input type="submit" name="submitContent" value="Update">
<input type="reset" name="resetContent" value="Reset">
</td>
</tr>

</table>
</form>
</div>
<?php include ( "./inc/footer.inc.php" );?>

And this is my insertcontent.php

<?php include ( "./inc/connect.inc.php" ); ?>
<?php
session_start();
$target_dir = "new/Images/";
$file_name = $_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"];
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]);
$uploadOk = 1;
$imageFileType = pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
// Check if image file is a actual image or fake image
if(isset($_POST["submitContent"]))
{
$check = getimagesize($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"]);
if($check !== false)
{
echo "File is an image - " . $check["mime"] . ".";
$uploadOk = 1;
}
else
{
echo "File is not an image.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
}
// Check file size
if ($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["size"] > 500000)
{
echo "Sorry, your file is too large.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
// Allow certain file formats
if($imageFileType != "jpg" && $imageFileType != "png" && $imageFileType != "jpeg"
&& $imageFileType != "gif" )
{
echo "Sorry, only JPG, JPEG, PNG & GIF files are allowed.";
$uploadOk = 0;
}
// Check if $uploadOk is set to 0 by an error
if ($uploadOk == 0)
{
echo "Sorry, your file was not uploaded.";
// if everything is ok, try to upload file
}
else
{
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $target_file))
{
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]). " has been uploaded.";
}
else
{
echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
}
}
if (isset($_POST['submitContent']))
{
$eid = $_SESSION['employeeId'];
$contentCategory = $_POST['contentCategory'];
$contentTitle = $_POST['contentTitle'];
$contentWriter = $_POST['writer'];
$displayMode = $_POST['status'];
$query = mysqli_query($con,"INSERT INTO contentdetails(employeeId,contentCategory,contentTitle,contentWriter,photo,displayMode,published_on)
VALUES('$eid','$contentCategory','$contentTitle','$contentWriter',
'$file_name','$displayMode',NOW())");
}
?>

You can just echo, after your insert query.

PHP

if (isset($_POST['submitContent']))
{
$eid = $_SESSION['employeeId'];
$contentCategory = $_POST['contentCategory'];
$contentTitle = $_POST['contentTitle'];
$contentWriter = $_POST['writer'];
$displayMode = $_POST['status'];
$query = mysqli_query($con,"INSERT INTO contentdetails(employeeId,contentCategory,contentTitle,contentWriter,photo,displayMode,published_on) 
VALUES('$eid','$contentCategory','$contentTitle','$contentWriter',
'$file_name','$displayMode',NOW())");

echo " ".$_GET["contentCategory"]." ".$_GET["contentTitle"]." , You Have Successfully Inserted !!";

}
