$PHP_SELF

Anon

hi all,

i am writing an script which calls it self using $PHP_SELF variable, it checks for the possible error and displays error messages on the same page but now the problem is that i dont know how to forward it to next page ie if all the conditions are satisfied the script should terminate itself and call next page.

i tried using header(Location:urlname) but it does not work. plz can any one help about it.

Regards

... what do you mean by: "but it does not work." ?? Its always a good idea to post at least what happend .... Because under normal circumstances:
Header("Location: URL");
should work ...

make sure that when you are using header(), you call that function before anything is outputed to the page.

header("Location: urlname");

will fail if you have already started sending data to the client. this often happens if you are include()ing/require()ing files above the call to header().

You should make sure you use header() before sending anything to the browser.
Another solution is using some javascript:

<?
if ($change_page) {
?>
<script>
window.location='<?=$next_page?>';
</script>
<?
}
?>

Hello-

did you determine a solution for your problem? I have the same situation - a form which submits to itself with $php_self to do form vield verifications and then mail the form contents via email to a specified email address, THEN forward to a thank you page but keep getting the "headers already sent..." error msg-

If you have a solution, I'd love to hear what it is- thanks.
