NewbieQ: Displaying different HTML file

[Anon]

Very simple one this I'm sure:

I have done a conditional filter in PHP where the user can either choose 'Exit' or 'Continue'. IF the user clicks, say 'Exit', in PHP, how can I make the PHP script stop and display a different PHP or HTML file?

You need to go nextpage, in the beginning of nextpage check whether it is exit or continue , and proceed from there. whenever you need to open an html or another php file from php script, use header. See example.

switch ($prevalue) {
case 'exit':
{
header("Location: http://..../htmlpage.html");
exit;
}
case 'continue':
{
header("Location: http://..../phppage.php");
exit;
}

Hope this helps

Or you could put the two buttons in different forms, each pointing to a different script.

Or if you use images instead of buttons, you can have one image as the submit, the other as a hyperlink to the "good bye" page.

Satya's answer is also a very good option.
