Redirect To A URL

Anon

Hello,

I have a form that a user fills out, and the information is put into a mySQL database using PHP. What I'd like to happen is, once the form has been submitted, the user will be redirected to another page. At the moment, this is the code I'm using :

<?php
if ($submit) {
// process form
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "XXXXX");
mysql_select_db("XXXXXX",$db);
$sql = "INSERT INTO Testinput (Blah, Blah, Blah) VALUES (´$blah´,´$blah´,´$blah´,´$blah´,´$blah´,´$blah´,´$blah´,´$blah´)";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
echo "Thank you! Information entered.\n";
} else{
// display form
?>

In the echo statement is where I would expect the redirection to occur, but I don't know what sort of code to use.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Mark

use javascript.. like
... php stuff
?>

it's not exact maybe.. i haven't done it in a bit.. try that

use window.location.href = 'blah.php';

You could also use a better way with PHP: the header() function. check on www.php.net it's something like:

header("location: www.blabla.com");

Dave,

Thanks for the pointer. It looks like it's exactly what I need. However, I always get a "header already sent" error message when it hits the line I use :

header ("Location: http://www.outdoor-resources.com/thanks.html");

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mark

Here is the line giving you the problems.

echo "Thank you! Information entered.\n";

Delete it and then replace it with the Header("Location: www.whatever.com"); line and you should be OK.

You cannot output any text to the browser if you are going to redirect them. It will die every time.

Good Luck

Hi,you also could use Meta tag.

<?php

...

else {
echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH
CONTENT=\"0;URL=yourpage.htm\">";
}
?>
