Open Url

Anon

I have a form that takes a series of numbers that a user enters and depending on the total, takes the user to a different url. I understand how to write the script up to the point of having PHP take the user to new url. How do you make PHP take the user to a url depending on certain conditions? (sum of the numbers in my case).

Thanks,
Matt

Try.

<? if ( $action == "") { ?>

<FORM action="<? echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" method="post">
<INPUT type="hidden" name="action" value="Y">

enter number 1
<INPUT type="text" size="4" name="num[]">
enter number 2
<INPUT type="text" size="4" name="num[]">
enter number 3
<INPUT type="text" size="4" name="num[]">
enter number 4
<INPUT type="text" size="4" name="num[]">
enter number 5
<INPUT type="text" size="4" name="num[]">

</FORM>

<? } else { ?>

$tot=0;
for ( $loop=0; $loop<count($num); $loop++ )
{
$tot+=$num[$loop];
}

header("location: ".$tot.".html");
exit;

<? } ?>

</BODY>

This will add the numbers up and then take you to the url. i.e. enter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
the url will be 15.html.

Mark.

You have to have a middle man page the redirects the user to different page depending on the results.

eg.
this is the page that the form directs to.
<?php
if ($total > 5) {
header("Location: http://www.greaterThanFivePage.html");
} else {
header("Location: http://www.lessThanFivePage.html");
}
?>
PS - if you need to send variables from the first page to the third, you can attach them at the end of the URL.
eg:
header("Location: http://www.greaterThanFivePage.html?variable1=$variable1&variable2=$variable2");
