dem/?p=user&act=changed
dem/?p=user&act=deleted

Mates please help for me. Advance thanks.

You could do a POST to hide any variables you pass to the backend fro the URL. You could also set your information into a cookie, which the backend can read as well. — Martin Konecny, Nov 20 '14 at 05:03

If you want to hide GET variables or values you should not use GET. In GET methods the data will always be send as part of the url. If you want to 'hide' the data (or not show it in the URL) from the user you should use a POST method.

You may use any one of the following:

Use POST method instead of GET
Use Ajax, with either POST or GET method
Use encryption and decryption if you really wish to send secured way i.e dem/?p=ENCRYPTED_STRING. Here ENCRYPTED_STRING will have all the GET data

here y u wanna pass this with URL?, just reload and show the messages that the "User has been deleted",inserted etc. You can use simply POST method. Other wise better way to handle this case is Ajax. another method create different pages for insert, delete, listing functionality. – Ashique C M Nov 20 '14 at 07:16
i already performed Ajax and POSt method, after deletion i receive delete msg, but below table also shows the deleted user. once i manually reload the page, then only that user vanished. Final thing is perform (del,ins,upd) after i want to get msg (without using alert) and also the updated table records (users). – White Marcus Nov 20 '14 at 10:38
Encryprion is a great idea. The password can be on the server, not visible at all to the client – Andrey Rubshtein Aug 05 '21 at 06:48

Obviously since you did not take the time to tell us how you page structure is and how you are storing your values I can only guess.

Server side

If you store the data on a post-redirect page you can store it in a $_SESSION

session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION['message']))
{
    $_SESSION['message'] = "succes";
}

Then on your confirmation page

session_start();
echo $_SESSION['message'];

Client side

You can create hidden inputs and add these to your form, set your form to post and handle these $_POST values on your form action page.

var x = document.createElement("INPUT");
x.setAttribute("type", "hidden");
x.setAttribute("name", "message");
form.appendChild(x);

Then on your confirmation page

if (isset($_POST['message']))
{
    echo $_POST['message'];
}
