PHP - How to hide the form after it's submitted

I have a domain name check form that i have in a container. After I submit the form the availability of the domain name is checked and a message is shown in the same container as the form. When the message is shown, I want the form and first H2 to disappear. How can i do this?

My code:

<div id="domain-name-check">
    <h2>Is uw domeinnaam nog vrij?</h2>
    <form method='post' class="clearfix">
        <input type=text name=domain>
            <select name="suffix">
                <option value=".nl">.nl</option>
                <option value=".be">.be</option>
                <option value=".com">.com</option>
                <option value=".net">.net</option>
                <option value=".org">.org</option>
                <option value=".biz">.biz</option>
                <option value=".info">.info</option>
                <option value=".mobi">.mobi</option>
                <option value=".ws">.ws</option>
                <option value=".cc">.cc</option>
            </select>
            <input type=submit name=proses value=Check>
    </form>
    <?php
    if(isset($_POST['proses'])){
        $domain_name = "$_POST[domain]"."$_POST[suffix]";
        $arrHost = @gethostbynamel("$domain_name");
        $date = date('y-m-d');

        if(empty($arrHost)){
            echo "<h2>$domain_name is beschikbaar</h2> <a href='/offerte-aanvragen/".$domain_name."/'>Vraag een offerte aan</a>";
            $availability = "yes";
        }else{
            echo "<h2>$domain_name is helaas bezet</h2> <a href='/offerte-aanvragen/".$domain_name."/verhuizen/'>Verhuis uw domein</a>";
            $availability = "no";
        }

        mysql_query("INSERT domainnames SET dns='".$domain_name."', available='".$availability."', timestamp='".$date."'")or die(mysql_error());

    }
    ?>
</div>

Use the following: 

<?php

if (  isset( $_POST['field_name'] )  )
  {
  .... // submit
  exit();

  }

?>

<html>
<form ... action="" method="POST">
....
....
</form>
</html>

Corrected code: Display form only when we do not have form values submitted. So, write your HTML code in else tag as following:

<div id="domain-name-check">

    <?php
    if(isset($_POST['proses'])){
        $domain_name = "$_POST[domain]"."$_POST[suffix]";
        $arrHost = @gethostbynamel("$domain_name");
        $date = date('y-m-d');

        if(empty($arrHost)){
            echo "<h2>$domain_name is beschikbaar</h2> <a href='/offerte-aanvragen/".$domain_name."/'>Vraag een offerte aan</a>";
            $availability = "yes";
        }else{
            echo "<h2>$domain_name is helaas bezet</h2> <a href='/offerte-aanvragen/".$domain_name."/verhuizen/'>Verhuis uw domein</a>";
            $availability = "no";
        }

        mysql_query("INSERT domainnames SET dns='".$domain_name."', available='".$availability."', timestamp='".$date."'")or die(mysql_error());

    }
        else {
        ?>
        <h2>Is uw domeinnaam nog vrij?</h2>
    <form method='post' class="clearfix">
        <input type=text name=domain>
            <select name="suffix">
                <option value=".nl">.nl</option>
                <option value=".be">.be</option>
                <option value=".com">.com</option>
                <option value=".net">.net</option>
                <option value=".org">.org</option>
                <option value=".biz">.biz</option>
                <option value=".info">.info</option>
                <option value=".mobi">.mobi</option>
                <option value=".ws">.ws</option>
                <option value=".cc">.cc</option>
            </select>
            <input type=submit name=proses value=Check>
    </form>
        <?php
        }
    ?>
</div>

replace <h2>Is uw domeinnaam nog vrij?</h2> with

if (!isset($_POST)){
       echo '<h2>Is uw domeinnaam nog vrij?</h2>';
}

this will make sure if form is not submitted then h2 will visible to user alternatively you can use Javascript

HTML code may be wrapped with PHP to conditionally show it.

Consider the following as a template for this type of functionality:

<?php if (condition) { ?>

    <p>HTML</p>

<?php } ?>

It's that simple.

In this instance, your condition will probably be 

if (isset($_POST['proses'])

Under your form tag,insert a hidden form field like this:

<form method='post' class="clearfix">
<input type="hidden" name="action" id="action" value="hideme" />
.................................
 .............................

</form>

Now under your $_POST section,use the following logic:

 if (isset($_POST['action'])&& ($_POST['action']=='hideme'))
 {
  //perform your intended task on submission
}else {

//Show My form code again

}

Simple!

This can be done by restructuring the current code a bit:

<?php
    if(isset($_POST['proses'])){
        # code ...
    }
    else {
?>
        <div id="domain-name-check">
        <!-- your form code goes here -->
        </div>
<?php 
    } //end of else block 
?>

Full code:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['proses']))
{
    $domain_name = "$_POST[domain]"."$_POST[suffix]";
    $arrHost = @gethostbynamel("$domain_name");
    $date = date('y-m-d');

    if(empty($arrHost)){
        echo "<h2>$domain_name is beschikbaar</h2> <a href='/offerte-aanvragen/".$domain_name."/'>Vraag een offerte aan</a>";
        echo "AVAILABLE";
        $availability = "yes";
    }else{
        echo "<h2>$domain_name is helaas bezet</h2> <a href='/offerte-aanvragen/".$domain_name."/verhuizen/'>Verhuis uw domein</a>";
        echo "NOT AVAILABLE";
        $availability = "no";
    }

    mysql_query("INSERT domainnames SET dns='".$domain_name."', available='".$availability."', timestamp='".$date."'")or die(mysql_error());
} 

else 
{
?>
    <div id="domain-name-check">
    <h2>Is uw domeinnaam nog vrij?</h2>
    <form method='post' class="clearfix">
    <input type=text name=domain>
    <select name="suffix">
        <option value=".nl">.nl</option>
        <option value=".be">.be</option>
        <option value=".com">.com</option>
        <option value=".net">.net</option>
        <option value=".org">.org</option>
        <option value=".biz">.biz</option>
        <option value=".info">.info</option>
        <option value=".mobi">.mobi</option>
        <option value=".ws">.ws</option>
        <option value=".cc">.cc</option>
    </select>
    <input type=submit name=proses value=Check>
    </form>
    </div>
<?php 
    }
?>
